I am enjoying this video because I need it for my own heart now. But also I teach TCA, and doing Tai Chi for Heart Conditions is a nice change that I do for myself now. Someday I hope to become certified to teach this new form, and I do recommend it to anyone who wants to feel peaceful when doing a form.

Very well done and very much a needed program!
After going through the dvd program, I mentioned how wonderful it was to several places, including a regional medical center where I offer TCA. They can't wait for me to add this program as well!
I hope that it will be offered as a certified program for myself and other instructors soon!
It is so very rewarding to see so many folks, especially older adults, benefit from the Tai Chi for Health programs! I feel so special, to be part of the Tai Chi for Health Institute. Thank you Dr. Lam....See you in Maine!!
