Come and learn some practical tools for taking care of yourself, through the practice of T’ai Chi Chuan. Principles, postures and movements from the T’ai Chi form will be introduced, to help you notice were you tend to hold tension in your body, release that tension, and develop a more relaxed, balanced state. Benefits are physical and psychological, enabling us to stay grounded and balanced, despite what life throws at us.


Presented by the <a href="https://www.taichichuan.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">New York School of T’ai Chi Chuan</a>, Tai Chi is suitable for people of all ages, and no special clothing or equipment is required. Classes will be held on the center lawn and are weather permitting (follow us on social media for class cancellations). 
For thousands of years, the principles and practice of T’ai Chi Chuan have been helping people to release tension, regain their health, and experience more of their full potential. Literally translated as “Supreme Ultimate Fist,” T’ai Chi Chuan has been called the queen of martial arts. It’s basic tenet is simple and evident in Nature— “In Softness there is Strength.”
