Using a phased training approach, Tai Chi is a valuable form of non-impact exercise and an internal art of health that is adapted to any health and fitness level of need. The St Charles location of The Taoist Tai Chi Society® is holding an open house and demonstrations of Taoist Tai Chi® from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5. Members and instructors will be present to answer questions.
