This summer, Macomb County residents are invited to discover the many health benefits of Tai Chi through a free Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention introductory series offered by MSU Extension at its Clinton Township office. This gentle, beginner-friendly program offers individuals of all ability levels the opportunity to explore a low-impact form of exercise.
Classes will take place on Mondays from noon to 1 p.m., beginning June 15 and continuing through August 24, 2026. Sessions will be held in the MSU Extension Assembly Rooms, located at 21885 Dunham Road in Clinton Township (please use Entrance “E”). There is no cost to attend; however, pre-registration is required.
Tai Chi is a slow, flowing practice that combines mindful movement, deep breathing, and focused attention. Participants may experience improved strength, balance, and posture, along with a reduced risk of falls. The program also supports overall well-being by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and helping to connect mind, body, and spirit.
According to Kristi Evans, MSU Extension District Director for Macomb and Oakland counties, “This program continues to grow in popularity among Macomb County residents. We’re excited to expand the program to include our Clinton Township location this summer.”
The class is led by instructor Jacqui Rabine, who will provide modifications to accommodate both seated and standing participants. Attendees are encouraged to dress comfortably, wear tennis shoes, and bring water.
