We are delighted to collaborate with the West LA Connect group again. They will have Kirsten Benson join them for an encore Tai Chi for Arthritis session on August 20th for our Live Yes! Connect Group VIRTUAL Meeting. Kirsten Benson has a BS in sports management and health. She has been an AFAA certified Group Fitness Instructor since 2007 and AFAA Personal Fitness Trainer since 2008. She upgraded her PFT to NASM. She has been a certified Tai Chi for Arthritis instructor since 2017 through the Tai Chi for Health Institute. She is also a Reiki Master and is completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Her biggest passion besides fitness is gardening! Kirsten was diagnosed with Sjogrens in 2017 and has found that staying active has helped manage her symptoms. After our educational session, we will brainstorm ideas for future meetings and there will be an opportunity to catch up and connect with others living with arthritis. Friends, Family and Care Partners are always welcome. We respect your privacy and confidentiality and do not record our online meeting. RSVP is required to our Seattle Connect group page. A Zoom account is not needed to participate, and you can participate via video or phone. Video is not required. The Zoom link will be provided the day before the event to people who select the Yes button. If you do not receive the login credentials, please check your spam folder.
