From the creator

For over 50 years, scientists at the Institute for Aging Research, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, have been studying what causes falls among the elderly, and how to prevent them. According to researchers, one of the most promising interventions is Tai chi, the ancient Chinese martial art, also known as “meditation in motion.” It offers senior practitioners inner peace, and improves balance, flexibility, and mental agility. It also reduces falls, the largest preventable cause of death and injury among older adults.
