Tai Chi Classes Starting Oct. 7
What: Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi Program is designed for people of all ages seeking a joint-safe exercise routine, but particularly those with mild to moderate arthritis. Research shows moderate physical activity helps people with arthritis feel better and relieves pain. Tai Chi may be especially suitable for people with joint problems because its movements are slow and gentle, and the level of exertion can be adjusted to suit each person’s physical condition. In addition, the movements in the style of Tai Chi used by the Arthritis Foundation are performed at higher stances, which make it easier and more comfortable to learn.
The benefits of Tai Chi may include reduced pain and stiffness, improved concentration and memory, greater balance, increased flexibility, enhanced muscle strength, along with improved ability to cope with stress and depression.
When: Beginner classes held on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 10:00 am. Session is 5 weeks; cost $66.
