Tai Chi Tuesdays on the Plaza

These are free classes

Join us for Tai Chi, a study in grace and balance, a meditation in motion, a method of increasing flexibility and ease of motion, and a great stress reliever besides.

Some study Tai Chi as a form of meditation in motion others study it to increase flexibility and joint mobility or to achieve elegance and grace, others find it effective in stress relief or even pain relief. Students of Kung Fu know that Tai Chi increases knowledge of body mechanics, making you a more effective, more solidly rooted fighter.

Whatever your reason for coming, we know you will enjoy taking a quiet hour to learn under the expert teacher, Sifu Gary, as you learn to move your body the way it was meant to move.

Decisions regarding weather cancellations will be made by 6 pm the day before and posted to the event page.
