Sounds really interesting – I, for one, would love to see how you do this (perhaps you could make a video for others to learn how to incorporate Tai Chi into their lives for these benefits) 🙂

I know it because I’m a teacher of four styles of Tai chi with an experience of about 40 years and I practice about two hours each day. I also have explored how tai chi could be improved in order to help better people with several body or mind diseases such as Alzheimer and eventually I created a Tai chi that I call medical Tai chi or creative Tai chi that is much more effective than normal Tai chi. Tai chi is particularly good for strengthening the memory and improving breathing and posture, unfortunately the way that it’s taught everywhere doesn’t really make use of its potential in memory strengthening and regeneration. It’s also good for osteoporosis and arthritis among other things and as it is practised in groups it also promotes face to face communication and friendship with others. I taught Tai chi in London for three years then stopped teaching it because I wanted to study it by myself in order to take it to another level. It took me a few years of intensive heuristic learning but eventually I did it. It’s possible that will start to teach my approach to Tai Chi again especially with the aim to promote the cure of Alzheimer and Dementia.
