Depression and the wonders of taiji

About a year ago, a study was done about depression and the elderly. They took a group of people with depression, at an average age of 70, and found that after 10 weeks of taiji, a staggering 94% "showed marked improvement". Sixty five percent experienced remission.

Those are good numbers.

Here's a link to the study:

If you are a certified instructor and are thinking about teaching in a retirement community - do it. You know the benefits. You know how to share them.

If you already teach in a similar fashion, let us know your experiences. We'd love to hear about them.
