The aim of Painting the Rainbow Tai Chi is to make Tai Chi in Birmingham and surrounding areas available to people in all walks of life and levels of mental and physical health.
To achieve this, we currently work with local hospitals providing tai chi for rehab to COPD patients, Cardiac, Rheumatology and falls prevention patients.
Chair based tai chi is an excellent introduction for all levels; from their we progress through the Painting the Rainbow tai chi program which includes seated chi-kung (qigong) through to tai chi movements suitable those with more mobility.
In addition to this we run seated tai chi sessions for Age Concern, Community Groups, Day Centres, Special Needs centres among others. We have a seated tai chi DVD that supports our program, along with the chi-kung as demonstrated below and tai chi form DVD's.
We have male and female instructors providing both sessions and staff training as this can be more cost effective in the long term.
