You demonstrate tai chi beautifully and I thank you for advising me where to find your videos to enable me to download the tai chi ones again.

Depending where you practice there is a bigger emphasis on the spiritual aspect of the art. As for the studies looking at the benefit of Tai Chi on balance, bone density, cardiovascular health etc. either style will provide the same benefits. The frequency, duration and years of practice larger determinants of the benefit you will gain than the style of Tai Chi. I hope this helps answer your question. All the best to you for a safe and Happy Holiday Season.
– Margaret

I have recently started Taoist Tai Chi and have just completed the introductory program. The moves are a little different than the ones in your video. Is the form of Tai Chi I am doing beneficiary to my bones as well?
Thanks,
Joan

What a great video! I took your Osteoporosis Level 1 course Sept 2009 and found it very helpful. I just started working for the Integrated Regional Falls Program for North Simcoe Muskoka and I am involved in running screening programs for seniors at risk of falling. One of our interventions is providing links to resources in the community and one of them is Tai Chi. I’d like to use the link for this website to demonstrate what Tai Chi looks like if that meets with your approval.

Thanks Margaret, speak soon!

Melissa
