Tai Chi is an ancient time-tested gentle form of exercise that has many benefits for health and well-being. Tai Chi improves physical balance, improves mental focus, relieves anxiety, improves flexibility, improves joint mobility, improves strength, brings awareness to the breath and body to help reduce stress. The list goes on. 

The class goal is to provide a non-aggressive, non-competitive environment for learning and to encourage students to go at a pace that is comfortable for them, all while learning how to integrate the material into daily life and developing a personal practice. Our Tai Chi Program follows the methods of Yang Style Tai Chi.  Classes are modified to accommodate the needs of each individual but the same principals and methods are followed.
