TAI CHI
Tai Chi is a graceful, slow-moving exercise system that
promotes muscle relaxation and flexibility by reducing physical
tension and strain. Since it is particularly beneficial for the
joints, Chen style Tai Chi is ideal for people over 50. “Silk
reeling” exercises, a part of the curriculum, gently open up the
major joints of the body, in sequence, from the head to the
ankles. Tai Chi has been shown in clinical studies to improve
balance and coordination. Taught by Debbie Au, a registered
nurse who has been practicing Tai Chi for over 20 years. (No
class 4/7).
