Welcome to the Tai Chi for Health Series!


This series of courses is thoughtfully designed to help you improve posture, strength, flexibility, and balance—one gentle movement at a time. Each course introduces a different sequence of tai chi forms, all grounded in principles that support joint health, body awareness, and mental calm.

Whether you're managing arthritis, working on fall prevention, or simply looking for a low-impact way to stay active and centered, there's a sequence here for you. Movements are slow, smooth, and easy on the joints—ideal for beginners and adaptable for all levels.

In each class, you'll learn a short, easy-to-follow form that builds week by week. You’ll also gain tools to enhance your balance, stability, and confidence—both in class and in everyday life.

MEET THE instructor

Hi, I'm Michele!

I've been a physical therapist for over 30 years, and I've spent all of those years working with seniors at various stages of fitness. I've become very familiar with the struggles and challenges that you face, and I've been motivated by your commitment to staying active and independent.

My mission is to help seniors on their wellness journey when you hit the road bumps that make you question whether you should stop or slow down. I'm here to provide support so you can keep going, whether it's a modifying how you move, or finding a completely different way of doing something.

Let me help you live your best life!
