🌎💡 Dr. Lam's words shine a light on how Tai Chi can guide us through life’s toughest moments:

“Life is full of changes, challenges and surprises; some are pleasant, while others are very challenging. Navigating through life is part of our lives and nature, and tai chi was created based on nature. So it makes sense that tai chi helps us to navigate through our lives with more inner strength and harmony” 💚

𝗗𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗺'𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗶 𝗖𝗵𝗶 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 was used for the 'Tele Tai Chi' research program by the TechSAge Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (USA).

Tai Chi for Arthritis was chosen because it is an evidence-based program that includes many proven benefits, including falls prevention, decreases in pain, increases in strength, and improvements in balance.

"This (Tele Tai Chi) program is ideal for people who have a wide range of abilities, including older adults with mobility disabilities."
- Dr Tracy Mitzner, Principal Research Scientist

"Everyone has their limitations, but with Tai Chi you can address all of them – all of your limitations, all of your skills, all of your anxiety, all of your depression – all on one step. You can focus on the things you can do and leave some of the negativity behind."
- Vonnie, Tele Tai Chi Participant
