Tai Chi for Your Health is one of a series of summer programs to help you to Discover a New You.

Tai Chi, is a mind-body practice that originated in China as a martial art. A person doing Tai Chi moves his body slowly and gently, while breathing deeply and meditating. The benefits of Tai Chi are many: it is a low-impact and aerobic form of exercise; it improves physical condition, muscle strength, coordination, flexibility and balance; it eases pain and stiffness from arthritis; and it improves sleep.

Join Tai Chi instructor Kathy Brenner as she explains the nature and benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong (pronounced Chee - Gung). Qigong is adaptive for people with differing physical abilities. She will have attendees join her in an easy to follow series of Qigong exercises and demonstrate Tai Chi forms. Please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Brenner will also answer questions throughout her presentation.

Registration required starting July 17.  Please register online or call 203-272-2245, ext. 4.
