Tai Chi Classes
TAI CHI is a Chinese martial art that is primarily practiced for its health benefits including a means for dealing with tension and stress. There are two basic types of martial arts, the hard martial arts and the soft style. Tai Chi is considered a “soft” style, though regular practice provides for an excellent low cardio, toning workout.

 

Tai Chi emphasizes complete relaxation & is essentially taught as a form of meditation in motion. The mind becomes quiet, as the body moves to rejuvenate & strengthen itself. Soft, slow, flowing and gentle movements built on the development of balance, coordination and strong energy flow. This creates a healthful and rewarding treat to daily living. This is an excellent couple’s activity.
