Wanting to try out seated Tai Chi?

29 Mar 2026

Recording of a seated Tai Chi session for people with ME/CFS is now available

JIngjing Jackson, an experienced Tai Chi instructor, is leading three seated tai chi sessions for MECFS Canterbury this year. This is the first session recorded on 2nd March 2026 and is 35 minutes long.


Tai Chi is a well-recognised body-mind movement and healing therapy, Published western research suggests that Tai Chi may help with post-intervention fatigue, depression, and anxiety and may improve sleep quality and mental function. Tai Chi may be a useful practice when you live with ME/CFS.


WARNING: People with ME/CFS need to manage any physical or orthostatic exertion carefully to avoid triggering post-exertional malaise. People with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) also need to avoid exacerbating symptoms.


When following the movements on the video, please participate safely, within your activity and health condition limits.


A previous 'Introduction to Tai Chi' presentation and session by Jingjing is also available to watch https://youtu.be/NI_6gUMImqo


Session 2 is scheduled online for 1st June 2026 and Session 3 is scheduled for 7th Sep 2026.
