Tai Chi has grown in popularity throughout the world as science continues to validate centuries-old claims that it benefits health, well-being, and longevity. Typified by slow, focused, gentle movements, Tai Chi builds strength using the body’s own weight and reduces stress with deep, easy breathing. Tai Chi is good for our memories too, because the moves are different than we are used to and are performed in a sequence that requires memorization.
Tai Chi is also good for us because it is fun! In each beginning class, you will join other people who are new to Tai Chi. We begin with some simple warm-up moves, then five ancient exercises that benefit the internal organs of the body. Most of the class is spent learning and practicing the Tai Chi movements. People sometimes find it challenging to remember the moves or the sequence, but, hey, that’s why you come to class. In just a few weeks, you will be experiencing the relaxation and flow of this wonderful art. No previous experience is necessary.
Classes are held at the SaddleBrooke One Fitness Center. The suggested donation is $10. Private lessons are also available.
The Beginning class is on Friday from 1 to 2 p.m.
Your instructors Ken and Carol Emerson have been students of martial arts for over 30 years. Both are black belts, certified by the Ching Yi Kung Fu Association, an international organization dedicated to the practice of Kung Fu for health and peace of mind.
