Photos from the May 8, 2010 Tai Chi program, In My Backyard Health and Wellness Program. 

It was cloudy, windy and cold for a May morning, but neighbors stood and watch Nathan demonstrate Tai Chi movements.

Tai Chi instructor, Nathan Menaged provided good information about balance, stance and movement.  The actual Tai Chi movements were towards the end of his program.  Nathan enjoyed teaching the class and offered to give all those who attended the In My Back Yard Tai Chi program a free class lesson at his studio, The Tai Chi Corner. 

Also in attendance were the Kicks for Kid soccer team with coach Rev. Merv Bereton.  In total we had nearly forty neighbors and friends attend the Tai Chi program.  Nathan will conduct a future program for the Kicks for Kid soccer team at no cost.

A special thanks to Thomas Joyce of the Ohio Department of Health, Diabetes and Control Division for his supplies of cook books, water bottles, diabetes management workbook and of course the pedometers.

Also thanks to Sharon Kornegay of Abbott Labs for material that she provided to all participants.
