Interventions
The TCE intervention will be delivered asynchronously online. Participants can complete the classes at a time and in a location that is convenient for them. The classes will be offered for one hour twice weekly and were developed and recorded by a certified Tai Chi Easy practice leader. TCE is a simple form of mind-body self-care that focuses on four components: * Mindful movements that help to stretch, and relax the body while improving balance and coordination * Breathing practices that reduce stress by inducing a relaxation response while improving energy and circulation and enhancing innate healing responses * Self-applied massage to stimulate blood flow, relax the body, and improve circulation and energy * Meditation practices to relax the body, center the mind, and calm the emotions
