Tai chi is an art of relaxation, focus, and balance.

It emphasizes the coordination of breath and body movement to enhance energy flow, promote blood circulation, and improve body awareness.

The practice helps increase flexibility and supports overall physical and mental well-being.

The class will begin with qigong as a warm-up exercise, followed by step-by-step instruction for each tai chi form.

This class is open to all levels.

$15 members, $25 non-members.

Advance registration required. Registration will open to members on June 5 and non-members on June 10.

Meets on the Main Lawn.
