A growing body of medical research—including dozens of studies based at the Harvard Medical School—supports that Tai Chi mind-body exercise effectively improves balance and musculoskeletal strength, heart health, cognitive function, and psychological well being. During this online session, participants will learn about the background and philosophy of Tai Chi. They will be introduced to what Dr. Wayne has coined the ‘Eight Active Ingredients of Tai Chi’ that underlie its therapeutic effects, and summaries of clinical and physiological research on the health benefits of Tai Chi. The session will include an experiential component during which participants will have an opportunity to learn some practical and easy-to-learn Tai Chi exercises. At the close of the session, interested attendees will be advised on how to develop and integrate a regular practice of Tai Chi into their daily routines.
