Every other week the city of Allen puts out a little magazine called, "Allen Image" This past week my Tai Chi instructors were featured. I actually take Tai Chi in Plano at TI, but they offer classes in Allen, so that's why they are on the cover. Anyways, I've tried and I think I have done a pretty good job of not being too preachy about Tai Chi and its benefits. Honestly though, it is something I really truely believe in for overall wellness...both physical and mental. I started in January sooo, 8 months ago. At the end of May I started private lessons that have helped my progress even more. Already after only 8 months I can physically feel the benefits this ancient art has brought me. My posture is better, I am not as clumsy as I usually am (except for the one day a few weeks ago, I turned and walked smack into one of our double doors which are usually both open, but one of them was closed. oops) , and I've learned how to relax my muscles and noticed a significant change in being relaxed and not as tense especially in my neck, shoulders and upper back. As for mentally, it's begun to train me to let everything in my mind to go away for a short time but at the same time has increased my level of concentration. Anyways, I'm sure out of all you wonderful people that read this, not many will actually go out and try it.. but thought I might raise some "Tai Chi Awareness" and perhaps later down the road, you might give it a try...
Anyways, here's the cover of the Allen image and another picture and at the bottom is a link to the article. It is mostly about their Tai Chi for arthritis program and has some testimonies and a little about what tai chi is and how it helps people with arthritis. I will say that the testimonies aren't "made up" to promote their business or this program. Everything these women say, is the real deal. You don't really have to click on the link to read the article, but I think it is interesting...
HOWEVER... If your name is
Ellen or
Sharon.. I
HIGHLY recommend you click on the link and read the article :o)
