They turned into windshield wipers and played the lute.<\/p>\n<p>It was all to reduce stress and improve overall health.<\/p>\n<p>A group of faculty and staff from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga spent the lunch hour on Thursday practicing the moves of tai chi, a form of martial arts that doesn&#8217;t involve punching and kicking an opponent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a slow, gentle, relaxed process,&#8221; instructor June Puett, an extension agent with the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, told the class. &#8220;A lot of this is about mindfulness, mental effort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She proceeded to show the group, among other exercises, how to breathe properly and use tai chi push, pull, step and sway movements. Some movements help reduce arthritis pain ands prevent falls by teaching balance. No one had to get down on the floor and twist themselves into knotty positions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Have fun with it. You&#8217;re getting exercise. You&#8217;re building up core strength. You&#8217;re working on coordination,&#8221; Puett said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Y&#8217;all are all looking good for just first timers, I&#8217;ll tell you. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s because y&#8217;all are in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are y&#8217;all laughing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The class was part of the UTC Employee Wellness program, which assists with physical, social, emotional, financial, career and community problems for faculty and staff. Casey Lee, the only man in the class of 12, described the exercise as &#8220;fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It felt good. It was relaxing. Kind of a nice midday break,&#8221; said Lee, who works in UTC Information Technology. &#8220;I wanted to kind of try it out. Tai chi sounded interesting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time Nancy Mullins, assistant director of campus campaigns and events in the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, had ever tried tai chi.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was great,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s supposed to be low impact and I do have some arthritis in my knees and I thought it might be helpful to help stretch it out a little bit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stress relief, body flexibility and improved overall health<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/03\/tai-chi-class-part-of-utc-employee-wellness-program\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":41259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83654,7712,12806,64],"tags":[119300,119299,48256],"class_list":{"0":"post-41260","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-faculty-and-staff","8":"category-health-and-human-performance","9":"category-health-and-wellness","10":"category-news","11":"tag-employee-wellness","12":"tag-june-puett","13":"tag-tai-chi","14":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
