Tai Chi Classes for Health in South Miami Florida

Elisa Smith

7600 SW Red Road (57 Avenue) Suite 309 South Miami, FL 33143 phone: (305) 343-6365
The Class
  • The first half of the class consists of deep breathing exercises, stimulating blood and energy circulation and mental relaxation; movements to open joints and improve balance; and standing meditation to increase relaxation and body awareness.
  • We proceed with a Tai Chi format developed by Dr. Paul Lam, an internationally acclaimed Tai Chi Master and family physician.  Using Sun Style moves, the form promotes balance, posture, aerobic activity, mental concentration, and mobilizes muscles and joints.  In addition to the health benefits, the form’s artistic and athletic moves provide enjoyable and challenging physical activity.
  • The class winds down with light stretching.
  • Classes are taught by Elisa C. Smith who is certified to teach Dr. Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis for beginners and advanced and Tai Chi for Diabetes.
