A growing body of carefully conducted research is building a compelling case for tai chi as an adjunct to standard medical treatment for the prevention and rehabilitation of many conditions commonly associated with age. Tai chi is a low-impact form of exercise using stillness and smooth movement. It focuses on body positioning, balance, and relaxation. Practitioners improve their awareness of how the body moves and how posture, breathing, and relaxation work together to release tension in the body. Regular practice of tai chi increases flexibility, muscle strength, and bone mineral density. Tai chi promotes health and mobility using slow movements and intentional breathing. It can be practiced alone or with others and requires little practice space. Its movements are slow and smooth yet effective for health and self-portection. $100/per quarter, or $8 per class. ContactCraig Ruetercraig_rueter@yahoo.com334-703-0899
