In 2010, Dr. Roger Jahnke, Linda Larkey PhD and associates completed their 2-year research "A Comprehensive Review of Health Benefits of Qigong and Tai Chi" published in The American Journal of Health Promotion. They reviewed 576 Tai Chi and Qigong studies published in English between 1993 and 2007. The review concluded that Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) have demonstrated consistent, significant results for a number of health benefits: positive effects on bone health, favorable cardiovascular and/or pulmonary outcomes, positive physical function improvements, significant improvement of fall prevention, improved quality, better pain management for arthritis and fibromyalgia patients, decreased anxiety, and immune system betterment. This was a milestone in the evidence base for Tai Chi and Qigong research.

All lectures and workshops include time for questions and answers, and many can also be delivered in an extended workshop format: half-day, full-day, weekend program, 5 day, or 7 day. Dr. Jahnke can tailor a presentation specifically for your group, or you can choose one of those described here.
