A few years ago, my chiropractor told me that if I didn\u2019t do SOMETHING, I was going to end up in a wheelchair. I was falling a lot. When someone just approached me from the other direction, I\u2019d almost fall off the sidewalk. My vertigo was so bad, I had to walk hanging onto the wall. My back was a real problem and I was in pain all the time. I was also really depressed as well, grieving for my husband of 42 years.<\/p>\n
Now after a couple years of doing Tai Chi with Jerry five times a week, I\u2019m a different person, mentally, spiritually and physically. My doctors can\u2019t believe the changes they\u2019ve seen in me. My health has increased exponentially. I have no trouble walking and my balance is great. My back pain is gone. My cloud of depression has lifted. I feel good!<\/p>\n
Although I started Tai Chi about 7 years ago, I didn\u2019t start to practice in this new way until I took Jerry Punzal\u2019s class a couple of years ago. My experience with him is so different. He is so encouraging. Jerry saw in me what I didn\u2019t see in myself. Pretty soon, he encouraged me to start leading class. Today I enjoy taking Jerry\u2019s class as a student and also being able to lead his class when Jerry needs me to. I enjoy showing new folks how to get started in Tai Chi because I love to take care of people.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had my friends regularly join our Tai Chi class because they, like me, realize that as long as you\u2019re \u201cup and moving\u201d it\u2019s great for your health. Eugene is another one student who was in a lot of pain. He also does Tai Chi and Feldenkrais back-to-back on Mondays, and he enjoys it like I do. He is someone I\u2019ve been able to guide through Tai Chi, which is very satisfying.<\/p>\n
I love this facility for its beauty, the staff\u2019s friendliness and the schedule. I love to take Feldenkrais right after the Tai Chi class on Mondays; it works perfectly for me. I\u2019ve become an annual member at Still & Moving Center!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not that things don\u2019t happen to me any more; I\u2019m 70 years old. It\u2019s just that now I take them in stride. I got a heel spur, and I just worked through it. I had my gall bladder removed and was back in class in just two weeks.<\/p>\n
Jerry is my sensei. By taking Tai Chi with him on a regular, frequent basis, I\u2019m a stronger person in many ways and so much more confident!<\/p>\n
