This study, called Project Gnosis, is looking at how Tai Chi can help older adults (age 60 and up) who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or cognitive concerns. MCI is a condition where memory and thinking skills are slightly worse than normal for your age, and it can be linked to muscle loss (sarcopenia). Tai Chi is a mind-body exercise that may help with thinking skills, mood, and physical health. Participants will take part in an 8-week Tai Chi program based on the Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi. Researchers want to see if Tai Chi improves executive function (thinking skills like planning and problem-solving) by measuring it at the beginning and end of the 8-week program. The study aims to enroll 50 people who can stand independently for 20 minutes.
