New Beginner Tai Chi Class–Tai Chi Two Ways
Wednesdays, Oct. 2-Nov. 20. 9:30—10:30,
Advanced Class is 10:40 am. Cost is $3 per session payable to the Thompson
Enjoy the coordination, focus, and core strength of seated tai chi. This form improves breathing and reduces stress. We will also have time for some standing and stepping practice for those who want it. The standing form contributes more balance improvement, but both forms are definitely mind-body exercises with multiple benefits.
Class instructor Anne Bower has been teaching for twenty years. She provides lots of encouragement and helps each person learn at their own rate.
