The Fundamentals of Tai Chi Series Continues at the Library

The Fundamentals of Tai Chi with Gang Huang continues with classes, on Thursday evenings through September 24. Each class must be registered for individually, and each builds upon skills learned in the previous week.

Tai Chi, an ancient practice that originated in China, is proven to boost both mental and physical health. It’s also proven to promote balance and prevent falls; relieve depression, Parkinson's disease, dementia; and reverse disease progression in osteoarthritis.

Tai Chi helps with insomnia, hypertension, and fibromyalgia and is often referred to as “Meditation in Motion.” Huang leads a hands-on session to work on Tai Chi fundamentals such as joint health, standing meditation, weight shifting and balance, and Tai Chi walking.

He is one of the formal disciples of Master Yang Jun, who is the direct descendent (sixth-generation) of Yang Cheng Fu and of Yang Lu Chan, the creator of Yang Style Tai Chi. Huang is an authorized instructor of Yang Family Tai Chi Association and is currently teaching Tai Chi classes in Bridgewater. Register for June 18.
