Tai Chi Classes for Strength & Balance
Tai Chi is a gentler version of the martial art Kung Fu, recognized globally for its defensive techniques and health benefits. Its proper name is Taijiquan (or Tai Chi Chuan). Over the last 800 years, it has evolved into an effective practice for alleviating stress and anxiety. This "meditation in motion" improves functional balance and flexibility, helping to release physical tension and reduce the physiological markers of stress. Tai Chi promotes whole-body wellness by integrating slow, intentional movements with deep diaphragmatic breathing to strengthen the musculoskeletal system while calming the nervous system. By aligning the body’s posture and focusing the mind, the practice fosters a unique synergy that enhances cardiovascular health and mental clarity simultaneously.
Join us and learn a combination of Chen, Yang, and Wu Tai Chi forms.
