Tai Chi is often suggested for older adults—it has a well-deserved reputation for preventing falls. I recommend anybody of all ages and occupations try Tai Chi,” Tai Chi is a flexible, adaptable form of exercise for anyone.” Tai Chi is even acceptable for those with little or no athletic background. “Tai Chi is known to be a suitable activity for older people, including those who are not active.”
Whether you’re new to Tai Chi or have been practicing for a while, this class is open to all skill levels. Experience the mental clarity and physical benefits that come with this ancient practice.
