Tai Chi

Sara Halleman, Neighbor

West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS) invites individuals living with arthritis to learn about the benefits of practicing Tai Chi.

This free workshop will introduce participants to the movements of Tai Chi and explain why this combination of exercise and meditation is ideal for those coping with arthritis pain and swelling.

A formal six-week program will subsequently be offered for $60. The six weekly sessions will begin at West Penn Allegheny Health System Outpatient Care Center on Oct. 28.
