Member & Volunteer Pat Fuji in the news




Exerpt from article in Boise Weekly, Vol. 17, Issue 48.


..."At age 77, balance and posture are considerations for Pat Fujii, who first saw the class while volunteering at the West Boise YMCA. While Fujii described how beneficial tai chi is for seniors, she mentioned that she is also a competitive sprinter and long jumper who will represent Idaho at the upcoming Senior Games.
As an athlete, Fujii noticed how the jarring motion of running hurt her joints. But tai chi taught her a new way of moving and standing, and since beginning her practice seven years ago, she said she's noticed an improvement in how she feels."
