The Carlsbad Senior Center is offering beginning/intermediate Tai-Chi classes for adults ages 50 and over on Thursdays. Beginning classes will meet from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. while intermediate classes will meet from 1 to 2 p.m. The gentle movements of the classic Chinese exercise encourage the body to let go of stress, anxiety and tension. Classes are taught progressively, focusing on balance, flexibility and coordination. Students will learn approximately 10 movements per session and the movements are linked together in a continuous smooth-flowing form. Students are encouraged to complete each six-class session before advancing to the next level. Fees are $48 for six classes for Carlsbad residents and $58 for non-residents. Drop-in fee for one class is $10.
