In the news
Help for those who have had a stroke
An article in the March-April Stroke Connection focuses on how the Taoist Tai Chi Society's internal arts of health has helped stroke survivors. Click on the headline, "Tai Chi for Recovery," to get to the article.
Depending on the severity of the handicap resulting from a stroke, either our Beginner or Health Recovery classes would be beneficial. Some may wish to attend both types of classes. One can also attend Health Recovery Weeks at our International Health Recovery Center in Orangeville, about an hour north of Toronto.
Chinese New Year Banquet Article
An article about our Chinese New Year Banquet has been posted on a Chicago Tribune site that covers local news. For photos of the Chinese New Year Celebrations, including the Double Dragon Dance at the Olympics on the first day of Chinese New Year, please see our Photo Page.
