Also known as meditation in motion, Tai Chi is a martial art known to help increase one's balance, strength, stability, posture, mental health and cognitive function. Hamburg, a long-time practitioner, reviewed several of the Tai Chi for Arthritis principals with class members on Thursday, including spiritual components of the program like the importance of affirmations and measured breathing. A 12-week Tai Chi for Arthritis course is scheduled to begin at HealthWorks on July 11. For more information, visit uamscentersonaging.org, contact Turner at [email protected] or call 870-881-8969.
