Tai Chi 4 Health

Background

Janice added Tai Chi to her repertoire of physiotherapy methods as a means of better addressing the problems of balance and coordination, lack of strength, and arthritis in an aging population.

She has been using Tai Chi as a means of physical exercise for several years.

Janice has just recently had the fortunate experience of becoming the first Canadian Instructor for Tai Chi for Osteoporosis—she recently completed studies with Dr. Paul Lam, the founder of the Tai Chi for Health program which originates in Australia.

Shannon Prince received her Tai Chi instruction 13 years ago in the Yang Style of Tai Chi and has been teaching ever since.

She has taught steadily in senior centers, nursing facilities, county parks and recreation facilities, retirement developments, assisted living communities, chiropractors, spas and gyms in both Southwest and Central Florida. Shannon has also provided private lessons to those interested in one to one attention. She enjoys working with people and assisting them in an overall improvement of their wellness and fitness.

Shannon feels Tai Chi is not only a way of fitness but also fun and relaxing. It should be calming, if you’re not having fun and not feeling relaxed it makes learning much harder. She enjoys teaching and seeing people progress and their function improve as they go.
