The Story of Chair Tai Chi
Born from a simple belief: Movement is medicine, and it should be accessible to everyone.
Our Journey Begins
Chair Tai Chi was born from a simple yet powerful realization: everyone deserves access to the life-changing benefits of Tai Chi, regardless of their age, mobility, or physical limitations. Traditional Tai Chi, while incredibly beneficial, can be challenging for seniors, individuals with arthritis, those recovering from injuries, or anyone who finds standing exercises difficult.
Our founder, a certified Tai Chi instructor with over 20 years of experience, noticed that many people were being left out of this ancient practice simply because they couldn't stand for extended periods or perform complex balance movements. This observation sparked a mission: to adapt the wisdom of Tai Chi for seated practice, making it accessible to everyone.
