Tai Chi for Health

15/12/2025

Peace, Harmony, and Better Health for the New Year / Workshop Notification - https://mailchi.mp/onlinetaichilessons/2025-11-wne-5484466 Through Tai Chi, we can cultivate calmness, better health, and a more harmonious spirit. And when a community practices with good intention—supporting one another, learning together, renewing friendships, and making new friends—we all benefit.
Next year, I hope my upcoming workshops will be “successful” in the most meaningful way: that many people will gain better health, make real improvement in their Tai Chi..

Over the years, I’ve found one thing makes a big difference for almost everyone, especially Tai Chi beginners:

Give yourself time to find the rhythm and the 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 of Tai Chi.

Tai Chi is not something we rush. When you allow time for your body and mind to "learn the language" of the movements, the health benefits and enjoyment naturally grow.

When I was working on my memoir "Born Strong," my partner Hazel suggested I read Arnold Schwarzenegger’s, "Total Recall." In this month’s newsletter I share what I learned from his “positive corner," why critical thinking matters in medicine and tai chi, and some simple ways to calm your mind and body.

When I was working on my memoir “Born Strong," my partner Hazel helped me enormously—far more than she ever admits. She not only assisted with the writing, but also sent me a wide variety of materials to read. One of them was Arnold Schwarzenegger’s autobiography, Total Recall.

Over the decades, I've travelled almost two million miles, perhaps more than anyone else has ever travelled just to teach Tai Chi! And every mile has been worth it. Each journey has brought me into contact with people from all walks of life, people who wanted to improve their health, find balance, or simply discover the inner peace Tai Chi can bring.

A Letter from Officer Chris Bianez

Safety Officer Chris Bianez became a Certified Instructor in June 2025. He shared this “Safety Minute” video to help our community and this touching letter after his first Tai Chi for Arthritis class. Thank you, and congratulations, Chris!

Dear Dr. Lam and Master Trainer Patricia Lawson:

I wanted to share a quick milestone and a heartfelt thank-you. I’ve just completed teaching my first Tai Chi for Arthritis class, and we gathered end-of-course feedback from all participants. The results—and the stories—were deeply encouraging, and I’m grateful for both of you in making this possible.

We started with 18 students and all finished.

Highlights from the student feedback (18/18 responses):

94.4% reported being very satisfied and rated the instruction as extremely effective. They reported benefits including improved balance (83%), flexibility (83%), posture (72%), overall well-being (67%), and stress management (50%). Nearly all would recommend the program to others and are likely/very likely to continue if offered again
A few anonymous student comments that especially touched me:
“This is a lifelong investment in our health … and a win-win all around. One more way Plano exhibits its City of Excellence.”
“I had pain in my hip every morning—that has gone away in the last two weeks.”
“The instructor goes over each move from front, side, back & repeat. He wants everyone to learn and benefit.”

With gratitude,

Officer Chris Bianez
Plano Police Department – Crime Prevention Unit
Certified Tai Chi for Health Instructor
