Chair Tai Chi NEW YEARS DAY

Chair tai chi to lessening my chronic back pain.    • Seated Tai Chi & Chair Yoga for Pain Relie...   It is a fun movement practice to get your mind off your worries and helps to lessen your stress.

Chair Tai Chi is a 45 minute class, consisting of a blend of Yang Style Tai Chi forms (singled out for adaptability in a seated position), Shaolin muscle and sinew exercises, qigong (“chee-kung”) detoxing techniques, hand/finger/eye exercises, acupressure point stimulation, and guided rest & relaxation & gratitude practice.

Benefits: Chronic pain reduction, improved strength and flexibility, range of motion, posture, blood pressure, sleep, digestion, and immunity. Relieves stress, anxiety, and aids in overall well-being. Chair Tai Chi is a unique therapeutic modality being offered in the online Veterans Yoga Project studio.

One of my students mentioned to me, that they love that the videos are also shared on YouTube. They then can play the video at 75%, which for tramatic brain injury people, is helpful, in that sometimes they process information differently, and this helps them with movement practices. I was so tickled to hear this additional benefit of having the practices on YouTube! Thank you for sharing this! #tbiawareness #tbiyoga #traumaticbraininjury #yogafortraumaticbraininjury
