About this class

Suitable for all levels of ability

Rani Hughes

Rani Hughes has been studying & practicing tai chi for over 30 years under Dr. Paul Lam and Professor Wong.

Rani is an occupational therapist (OT) and a master trainer in Dr. Paul Lam’s Tai Chi for Health programs. Although her background as an OT was in falls prevention, tai chi and mindfulness has become her main focus now. Rani's interest in tai chi research led to her involvement with a NHMRC funded tai chi study based at Monash University. As a Master Trainer, Rani has trained hundreds of people to conduct safe and effective modified tai chi classes for people with arthritis, diabetes, balance issues and dementia around the world. She has taught tai chi across Australia, New Zealand, Sth Korea, and in Sri Lanka. Rani has a keen interest to introduce tai chi to a diverse range of people, including football teams, homeless women, teenage mothers, high school/university students, conference delegates and people with addiction problems. She was a founding member of the Tai Chi for Health Institute. Combining the practice of tai chi and mindfulness is a daily inspiration for Rani.
