Sun Style Tai Chi & Qigong — Tai Chi for Arthritis & Fall Prevention
A class with Dan Kimball
About this class
Practice gentle, upright Sun Style Tai Chi and Qigong for balance, joint comfort, fall prevention, and calm in a welcoming, mirror-free Tucson community. Beginners and continuing students learn side by side at an unhurried pace, and new students can start on any Monday or Wednesday morning.
Each 60-minute class follows a predictable, easy-to-follow structure:
• 10:00–10:10 AM — Gentle Joint Warm-Up: Head-to-toe neck, shoulder, spine, hip, knee, and ankle loosening practiced standing or seated.
• 10:10–10:30 AM — Featured Monthly Qigong: Flowing movements paired with natural breath to release tension and refresh energy, followed by a 5-minute break.
• 10:35–11:00 AM — Sun Style Tai Chi & Cool-Down: Step-by-step guidance in upright posture, smooth weight shifting, and gentle follow-steps, closing with three calming breaths.
We follow the 70% Comfort Rule—moving well within your pain-free range of motion. There is no floor work, and sturdy chairs are always available around the studio for balance support or seated breaks.
