Summer can be a pretty lazy time here in the Brooke. Good thing Tai Chi is a relaxed yet effective way to stay active. Classes tend to be a little smaller as well, so it’s almost like getting private lessons. Here are the top 10 reasons to practice in the summer.
- No. 10: There’s not a lot else to do around here
- No. 9: It gets you out of the house
- No. 8: Tai Chi is very gentle – no sweating
- No. 7: We practice in air conditioned comfort
- No. 6: Smaller classes means you get more personal attention
- No. 5: The people are nice (students and teachers)
- No. 4: It’s proven to help improve balance
- No. 3: You’ll become stronger and more flexible
- No. 2: Tai Chi improves your mind as well as your body
And the number one reason—it’s fun!
