Ideal for almost anyone with a chronic condition wanting to improve their health and mobility. Also a great stepping stone to a standing tai chi class if recovering from illness or injury. Suitable for people who are unable to stand or walk for extended periods.
A fun, safe easy-to-learn program, including 2 blocks of about 20 minutes of gentle movement, either side of a mid class break.

Marlene McKendry
Marlene has a passion for promoting good health and a background in martial arts.
`I started tai chi after tearing a disc in my back and found it excellent for relaxation and stress relief, as well as kind to my back. I heard many stories from fellow classmates about how tai chi helped them with a range of health issues. When I found out more about Dr Paul Lam's modernised tai chi, it made so much sense. So I decided to focus on teaching tai chi. Which is such a pleasure!`
`I particularly enjoy seeing how Dr Lam's easy-to-learn tai chi programs deliver health benefits so quickly. Dr Lam has made this amazing form of exercise accessible to so many more people. Now anyone can learn tai chi."
Marlene teaches private and public classes, as well as seated classes in aged care facilities.
