SUMMARY:Tai Chi for Health
DESCRIPTION:Tai Chi offers gentle\, low-impact movement that helps improve balance\, coordination\, and focus—all common challenges after a concussion or brain injury. The slow\, mindful pace supports neuroplasticity and calm regulation of the nervous system. Practising in a group creates a sense of connection and belonging\, helping reduce isolation and support emotional wellbeing. \nReferrals from Headway Trust only pay $5!! \n \n  \n  \n  \nTo register\, email info@ponsonbycommunity.org.nz \n Tai Chi for Health programs are accessible for just about anyone\, they are easy-to-learn; safe and effective for health. Dr Paul Lam and a team of tai chi and medical experts created these programs by combining authentic traditional tai chi\, up-to-date medical knowledge and teaching methods. The programs are designed to empower people to improve health and wellness. These programs are proven by medical studies to be safe and effective\, improve health\, and support the management of many chronic conditions. The CDC (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends Tai Chi for Arthritis\, Arthritis Foundations and many organizations around the world support TCH. A wide range of Instructional DVDs and other products are available. Worldwide over 15\,000 certified instructors are teaching the programs.” http://taichiforhealthinstitute.org/. \n(Qigong/Tai Chi for Health program information from: www.smilingdragon.co.nz) \nAbout your instructor: Pauline Wood \n \nI was introduced to Dr Paul Lam model of Tai Chi during my last OT practicum and found it’s designed to be accessible to anyone\, regardless of injury\, disability\, health\, etc. Early in my own recovery\, my balance and cognitive function was inhibited\, Tai Chi came to mind and I joined a class at Auckland Integrated Health\, Northcote\, Auckland in 2019. Being prone to falls\, I found Tai Chi also helped to re-program my autonomic system which has helped in preventing falls. I also found learning Tai Chi enjoyable and relaxing\, which was in concurrence with other group members. In 2020\, I started on my journey to become a Tai Chi instructor and started running a weekly class at Headway: Brain Injury Auckland\, in Epsom. \nCurrently as a registered Tai Chi Instructor\, I also run a fortnightly class via zoom with Concussion Management Strategies\, Toronto\, Canada; and weekly classes in person classes around Auckland. \n
