Event Details

Suffolk County Department of Health is pleased to offer Dr. Paul Lam’s evidence-based Tai Chi For Arthritis and Fall Prevention program.  The one hour class meets online twice a week for eight weeks. Participants will be gently guided through this ancient art form by a certified Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention instructor, Linda Bohman. Tai Chi promotes wellness, develops musculoskeletal strength, joint stability, balanced footing, enhanced mind body connection, better postural alignment, enhanced breathing skills, and it cultivates a relaxed mind. Tai Chi’s slow, smooth and controlled movements make this low impact exercise suitable for people of all ages.  Level 1 is designed for beginners who have no previous knowledge of Tai Chi. Participants should be committed to attending all 16 classes.  The first class is mandatory. 

This program will be presented as a Zoom meeting. Please register here. The zoom link will be emailed to all registrants one day prior to the program
