Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi Program

If you are interested in becoming trained in this program, hosting a program or hosting a training, please contact Johanna at jlindsay@arthritis.org.
Although the Pacific Northwest Chapter was not able to sponsor training, we are pleased to provide information on three training opportunities available for Tai Chi through Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi For Health program.
