Tai Chi for Adults

The class will focus on the principles of Tai chi, which when practiced regularly, have many health benefits including both mental and physical health. Tai chi is one of the Eight Branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The simple, gentle coordinated movements of Tai chi are practiced slowly to develop and strengthen the mind-body connection. As the mind and body connect, there is balance- both mind and body are in harmony and the spirit flourishes.

No advanced knowledge of Tai chi is necessary. The class is appropriate for all ages and fitness levels.
