Anne Plyler, a 1970 UNC-CH PT graduate, earned a Master of Liberal Arts from UNC-A in 2008. She has practiced physical therapy over 40 years, the past 25 years at Mission Hospital where she is an acute care physical therapist & a Geriatric Resource Specialist. Prior to that, she managed Rehabilitation Services at Visiting Health Professionals, which was WNC’s largest home health agency.
Her sons’ pursuit of martial arts training provided her first exposure to Tai Chi in the 1980′s. Her own Tai Chi practice began in 1996, inspired by the research of Emory University physical therapist Steven L. Wolfe and Tai Chi Grandmaster Tingsun Xu, PhD. Anne has studied with several instructors over the years, and is grateful to each of them for a variety of learning experiences in Yang and Sun styles of Tai Chi.
Anne is a premier member of the Tai Chi for Health Institute and a member of the Tai Chi for Health Community. She is certified as a Level I & Level II Tai Chi for Arthritis Instructor by both the Arthritis Foundation and The Tai Chi for Health Institute.
