Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention
A class with Kathy Metropulos
About this class
This is a beginner-level program funded by a Department of Aging grant. Chairs are available so that participants can sit, stand, or do a combination of both depending on their physical needs. Each session runs eight weeks, with about four sessions per year.
Kathy Metropulos
Kathy has been practicing Tai Chi since 1992, and teaching since 2008. During the pandemic, she stumbled upon Dr. Lam's online Tai Chi for Health programs and became certified in April 2021 to teach the Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention program. She taught on-line for the remainder of the year.
Kathy fell seriously ill in 2022 with a nasty version of one of the 100 forms of arthritis, and used the Tai Chi for Arthritis Program to successfully aid her recovery. She is again teaching with a first-hand understanding of what it means to be limited in movement caused by chronic joint pain. She also has received certification to teach Tai Chi for Arthritis 2, Tai Chi for Diabetes, Tai Chi for Energy, and Tai Chi for Energy 2.
