DID YOU KNOW THAT THE Y OFFERS TAI CHI?
Did you know that on Tuesdays @ 11:15 am the Y offers a Tai Chi class? T'ai Chi is a meditative exercise based on Taoist philosophy and other centuries-old Chinese principles of health, spirituality, and self-defense. Its natural, relaxed movements promote inner calm and improve self-awareness, balance, and coordination. Recently published studies have confirmed that those who practice T'ai Chi have improved blood pressure, a reduction in fibromyalgia and arthritis pain, improved immune function, and a lowered risk of falls and their resulting injuries.
Taught by Robert Chuckrow, who has studied T'ai Chi, Ch'i Kung, and other movement, self-development, and healing arts since 1970. He is a certified master teacher of Kinetic Awareness® and has taught T'ai Chi extensively. A multi-award-winning author, he has written five books, three on T'ai Chi and one on diet.
