Tai Chi & Qigong

We've added another NEW Class!

Tai Chi is a gentle form of fluid exercise that develops strength, balance and flexibility. Qigong is a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self massage, sound and focused intent. Every class is suitable for beginners.
