Tai Chi has a longevity mission to promote health, recover health, and maintain health. Learning Tai Chi is a fascinating exploration that provides many mental/emotional benefits as well as physical fitness. People with health challenges from MS to Parkinson’s, from arthritis to depression feel the calming benefits from their very first session. The gentle, low-impact choreography lends itself to numerous health benefits. Tai Chi emphasizes optimal alignment and relaxation. Its exercises are graceful; moreover, they improve strength, flexibility and endurance. Learn how to be comfortable in your body.

Tai Chi Ch’uan has many cherished facets. In the Beginners class students are guided through a sequence of warm-ups, movements, and postures that can be practiced by anyone, at any age, anywhere you have a little room. Tai Chi offers even more when you tap into its inner dimensions. In the 8-10pm class practitioners are invited to explore Tai Chi’s intriguing applications and principles. Be empowered to gain better balance, to respond mindfully, and to remain fully present—even in stressful situations. Give yourself the gift of equilibrium. Visit a free trial class.
