Beginning Tai Chi

ALL1338-Z     12 Weeks     Wednesdays     9:00am-10:20am    Start Date 29-Jan
Zoom      Limit 12

We will start by learning a short choreographed 10-movement “form.” Along with movement, we’ll delve into Chinese culture and the history of this art and how we can use parts of what was once the most feared and lethal method of fighting in China to promote and to extend wellness. The short (about three-minute) forms can be used at home to relieve stress, insomnia and as low impact exercises to aid in strengthening flexibility, strength and balance. All that is required is comfortable clothing, a space about six feet wide and four feet deep. But be aware, one never learns Tai Chi; it is a continuing journey to extending the quality of life.
