Tai Chi & PD Wednesday, December 7, 2022; 3:00 pm (ET)
Tai Chi & PD with Karen McNeil Wednesday, December 7, 2022, 3:00 pm (ET)
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese discipline of movements practiced as an exercise to enhance wellbeing. This martial art improves joint flexibility, muscle strength, and balance. Tai chi promotes healing, stress management, increased memory, and concentration. A recent study found that Tai chi improves motor function in people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease and may slow down disease progression. Join Karen McNeil, experienced Tai Chi instructor with Yoga, Tai Chi, and the Healing Arts of Naples, share benefits of the martial art, and engage you in an introductory session of Tai Chi.
