TAI CHI

Dear Akiba Staff,
For the class to continue into 2017, we need more participants. Currently, we are 4 strong. The class is taught 4:15-5:15pm Tuesdays on campus but would move to Monday or Tuesday in 2017. Master teacher Fayne Bouguyon, also a licensed massage therapist, guides us through the controlled, fluid movements.
Cost is minimal, $15 a session, no special clothing or equipment required, come as you are. The easy access is a real plus. Please let me know if you would like to participate and/or need more information to join us. Parents are welcome.
The rewards from Tai Chi & Qigong can be awesome - improved posture, better balance, more calm , increased core strength and body awareness to name a few.
