TuTh, July 20-September 2 | Ages 50+
Tai Chi and Qi Gong are centuries old practices that involve certain postures, gentle movements, mental focus, breathing and relaxation. Often known as moving meditation, most of the work is performed while standing and taking small steps. Today, it is widely used for health and wellness, and can be practiced by almost anyone in any situation.
Recommended by:
Adult Activity Supervisor
Why I chose this program:
Tai Chi is a wonderful fitness option for older adults and is often recommended by physicians as a way to improve balance and stability. Tai Chi and Qi Gong offer lots of health benefits to the body, mind and spirit. Participants enjoy coming twice a week for the most benefit, however there is the option to come once a week to accommodate your schedule. Our instructor Bill is always looking for new faces to join his classes!
