According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 50 million adults in the United States reported having some form of arthritis.  At the Junior League of Tucson, a new Tai Chi class in the “Sun Style” is being offered to seniors to help prevent falls and to prevent the symptoms of arthritis.

“When I watch the Chinese people do the Tai Chi, it is just such fluid motion and it just looks so good and so healthy that I thought that’s just something I want to do and it’s wonderful,” said Bill Havens, one of the students in the class.
