Tai Chi Short Course

Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese form of exercise originally created as a fighting art with origins dating back over 700 years. Mainly practiced today as a gentle form of exercise with many health benefits, the words “Tai Chi Chuan” would loosely translate as “Supreme Ultimate Exercise or Skill.” Utilizing breathing, visualization, relaxation and natural movement, Tai Chi Chuan generates health, longevity, internal strength and power. Our discussion will focus on the many proven health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan for older adults, including balance, stability, mental focus and pain relief. Taking into account physical limitations, an interactive demonstration will show how these simple movements can be applied to everyday life.
