Tai Chi - Building a Strong and Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit!
Instructor: Tom Diana
Tai Chi is a gentle Chinese art that has been practiced for about 1,000 years. It is an exercise in that it improves lower body strength, bone density, blood circulation, and balance; it also reduces blood pressure. Modern studies have shown that it helps relieve anxiety and depression. Since it is a lowimpact activity, it can be practiced well into one’s later years.
Participants will learn a basic five-element chi-gong exercise and immediately engage in some walking exercises. A Tai Chi form will also be taught. Come join in “meditation in motion” art and exercise.
