T’ai Chi Chih Program for City Employees on Disability Leave

Carmen Brocklehurst just completed an eight-week pilot course for the City of Albuquerque wherein city employees could attend T’ai Chi Chih class at noon at a central location, and wherein all city employees on disability leave were required to attend. The class had between 20 and 30 attendees each week, including injured police officers, fire fighters, and refuse workers, some of who came to class on crutches and began the movements sitting down. They were surprised to experience the disappearance of pain and a rapid increase in flexibility. Perhaps Carmen will write us about this pioneering experience.
