Tai Chi:

Monday’s & Wednesday’s 9:00-10:00am in Ballroom

Tai chi emphasizes complete relaxation, and is essentially a form of meditation or what has been called "meditation in motion." Unlike the hard martial arts, tai chi is characterized by soft, slow, flowing movements that emphasize force, rather than brute strength. Though it is soft, slow, and flowing, the movements are executed precisely.

The benefits of Tai Chi:

·         Reducing anxiety and depression

·         Improving balance, flexibility and muscle strength

·         Reducing falls in older adults

·         Improving sleep quality

·         Lowering blood pressure

·         Improving cardiovascular fitness
