Sun (Dr Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention) Term 2 Tai Chi with Louise is outside, so we can do Dancing with 6m Ribbons - a fun and heating warmup. Then we will practice a super warming Sun style form. It is compact, protects knee and shoulders, therefore is easier and safer to perform. The Stay on your Feet campaign promotes this particular sequence as falls prevention. Flowing movements and the powerful Chi Kung is especially effective for healing and relaxation. The energy flow feels great and the practice improves faster for that benefit. The tai chi class will be located off-site at the Scented Garden in South Perth. Note: In the case of wet weather, class will be cancelled and a make-up date will be arranged
