Fitness:

TAI CHI CHUAN
Tai Chi is moving meditation that combines postures and movements into an elegant and gentle flowing form, which by design stretches and strengthens many of the muscles and tendons of the body as well as enhances the circulation of the blood. Originally developed in China as a very formidable martial art, today most of the millions of people that practice the art of Tai Chi do so for its considerable health benefits. Tai Chi is a flowing, graceful exercise that stabilizes the balance, increases flexibility, and reduces stress. It requires no special clothing, equipment, or skills and comfort is the operative word here. It can be practiced by people of all ages and body types. If you are new to Tai Chi, please arrive at 6:00 pm on the first day of class for a brief introduction.
