Tai Chi Walking continues to be part of our curriculum at Radiant Palm Tai Chi, and we try to work a few minutes of it in to each class. It not only strengthens the calves, thighs, and ankles, but hones a student's balance. Whenever I ask why a student has decided to learn Tai Chi, invariably the first reason given is to improve their balance.
With so many of us experiencing the loss of bone density these days, honing our balance skills is paramount in preventing damaging trips or falls. Falling, in fact, can lead to months in the hospital, rehabilitation, or even death. Learning the skills of Tai Chi and Tai Chi walking can lesssen damage incurred when losing one's balance leading to a fall.
Tai Chi Walking skills depend on the same balancing skills learned in our beginning Tai Chi classes. Students learn to identify the balance centers within the body and how to align them to achive perfect balance. These skills can be applied to Tai Chi Walking on a day to day basis. Why not contact us to schedule your class in Tai Chi walking?
