A Holiday for Health and Humor: Annual Health & Wellness Conference

Tai Chi Classes

Tai Chi Chuan is sometimes called the most popular form of all martial arts which is now practiced worldwide. Tai Chi is a classic form of Chinese martial arts that incorporates a complete exercise program. It has been proven to improve a person's balance, flexibility, endurance, blood circulation, mental activity and respiration. It can also be used to develop the flow of your energy (Chi) which is purported in Chinese medicine to improve one's overall health. Tai Chi can also be interpreted in a manner of self defense and the last part of the class will focus on this area for those interested. This is a great introduction to Tai Chi or a great mid-week rev up!
