Discover the gentle power of Tai Chi in this three-session class designed for beginners as well as returning enthusiasts. Tai Chi offers an enjoyable hour of beneficial, low-impact exercise that can provide meaningful health benefits—particularly for balance, flexibility, posture and over-all well-being. Medical Research has shown Tai Chi may also provide stress reduction and improved cardiovascular fitness.
Each class begins with breathing exercises and gentle stretching before learning Tai Chi techniques in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Although Tai Chi originated as a defensive Martial Art form hundreds of years ago, as an exercise practice it involves slow, flowing movements without an opponent. The next series of Tai Chi classes are scheduled to continue in October on Mondays at 10am.
