Workshop Objectives - In a typical workshop, participants will be learning about the five key principles underlying the practice of Tai Chi and how the application of these principles can be used to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's. The participant will learn specific exercises that emphasize each of the principles and how the practice of these exercises can improve balance, stability, posture, flexibility, coordination, smooth body flow, body awareness, and increase lower body strength. Also, the workshop will examine the importance of meditation for reducing tension and stress and their effect on health. In addition, participants will learn how to negotiate in crowds and prevent falls. This will be accomplished by working with partners to increase sensitivity and awareness of others intruding into a person's immediate body space and how to respond to their jostling and pushes.
