Tai Chi for Health-Sun Style/Part One, The Core Movements

Six Thursdays beginning February 20 from 1:30-2:30pm
Tickets: $75.00

Tai Chi is one of the most highly recommended forms of exercise. It is safe, relaxing and Sun Style is easy to learn. There are numerous evidence based scientific studies showing it improves overall health. There is proven research that it improves balance, bone health, strengthens the immune system, promotes better sleep, reduces the pain and stiffness of arthritis and helps to maintain an overall positive attitude while reducing stress. These are just a few of the studies. Through a series of gentle movements, there is a gain in strength, and flexibility in the joints. By the end of 6 weeks you will have a solid practice to enjoy as is or continue to Part Two for more. Instructor Holly Heaslip is certified in this program developed by Dr. Paul Lam. Wear comfortable clothing, shoes with thin, flexible shoes if possible (socks with grips on the bottom are appropriate) and bring a water bottle. If you have any concerns about whether this program is appropriate for you, please check with your doctor before participating. This class meets in the Owl Hall on the main level of the Education Wing.
