Tai Chi

We offer Tai Chi every Wednesday at 10:30 am - 11:30 am

A recent study in the prestigious "Journal of the American Medical Association" found that Tai Chi can help improve the balance of the elderly and help reduce the risk of falling. In fact, in comparison to other exercises, including weight training, stretching, endurance training, and balance training, Tai Chi was the most beneficial exercise, reducing falls and their resulting injuries 25%.
