GAPS Tai Chi


Picture

More info coming soon!!!!

"The breath is the bridge between the conscious and the sub-conscious mind. And that is how one can control the other." (Unk).

The results of several clinical studies suggest that regular participation in Tai Chi can help with balance, circulation, muscle strength, stress release, gait problems, neurodegenerative issues,  and general well-being. Our classes are specifically designed for  persons with physical limitations, and are open to all levels of Tai Chi experience. Beginners and first-timers are welcome. 

​The Tai Chi class includes: Chinese meditation, Qi Gong (working with energy), movement drills, and several Yang style Tai Chi Forms. The Tai Chi forms include: Yang 8 Form, Taoist 18 Form, Yang 24 Form, and the Yang 48 Form.
