The Tai Chi Way to Better Balance: An Illustrated Manual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781493592845)

Falls Among Older Adults Cost Our Medical System $30 BILLION in 2010....What Will a Fall Cost You?

According to the CDC, 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 will have a fall this year. Of those who fall, 20% to 30% suffer moderate to severe injuries that make it hard for them to get around or live independently, and increase their risk of early death. Unfortunately, it's easy to ignore the aches and pains of aging and put off dealing with your health.

Have you noticed any of these early warning signs in yourself or in a loved one?

• Trouble going up and down stairs
• Stiff joints and reduced feeling in the lower body
• Hesitance to get out and walk, especially when the weather is bad or at night

A Graceful Way to Age

What if you had you a daily practice that gave you the confidence to get around, left you feeling loose and relaxed, and nourished you on a deeper level?

For hundreds of years, older adults in China have taken up Tai Chi to slow the effects of aging. Every morning they flock to their local parks to take care of themselves. Tai Chi makes it a pleasure to be active, focused, and engaged.
