“This training was much more in depth and informative than I first thought it would be. I didn't know what to expect, but this has been wonderful.

I need to go back and review the Tai Chi video practices and actually put them to use! ”

—Rhonda, yoga teacher

Meet Your Teacher: Ann Swanson, MS, LMT, C-IAYT, E-RYT500

Hi, I’m Ann. I began studying Tai Chi in China over 20 years ago, and I’m a certified instructor and Senior Trainer for the research-backed Tai Chi for Health programs. I’ve been teaching the Tai Chi for Arthritis & Fall Prevention program since 2013.

My own fibromyalgia and chronic joint pain that started in my teens brought me to this practice. The gentle, low-impact flowing movements have become a meditation in motion for me, easing what was once debilitating pain for me.

My wellness books have sold nearly a million copies in 15+ languages, and my work focuses on translating science-backed practices into simple, accessible tools for real life.

In this LIVE course, I’ll teach you authentic Tai Chi in a clear, practical way so you can ease stiffness, restore balance, and feel calm, one mindful step at a time.

“I just tried your work out and I find it calming and relaxing. I'm 64 and lost a lot of ability to hike due to major surgery and recovery (still), but am slowly trying to get back into the swing of things, and this workout was quite easy to follow and a nice way to restart moving.”

—Ann

Thank you for being real. Not just a human, but matter of fact, real information, no hype. I have been looking for this kind of honestly for years. The way you explain Tai Chi Walking makes so much sense. I feel like I am really starting to understand this practice.

—Deseret

“Excellent instruction and demonstration. This fundamental practice of Tai Chi is often overlooked as students focus on the form and hand movements. However, the root of movements comes from the feet and the relaxed concentration and correct alignment are very important to develop at an early stage - and to continually revisit.

You have a superb teaching style that your students will benefit from.“

—Mark
