Event Description
Want better health without beating yourself up?
Tai Chi has been found to improve balance, increase bone density,
benefit heart health and enhance quality of life. This slow, gentle, flowing
exercise leads to some wonderful benefits for body and mind. A National
Institutes of Health comprehensive review of studies suggests it might as well
be called “meditation in motion.”
The current popularity of mindfulness and the new understanding of
the “gut brain” are just a few of the aspects of well-being built into this
ancient health exercise. We will talk about and experience these concepts and
learn how to get the most benefit from practicing Tai Chi.
Attend this workshop to:
- Learn simple methods to help you feel relaxed and energized.
- Learn simple techniques to help you maintain your posture and balance.
- Learn some easy Tai Chi and Qi Gong exercises.
