"Through the years, my job has brought a mountain range of tension and stress to my life. Yet, in this short time since I have started learning Tai Chi and Chi Kung, I find I'm now able to relax and I have more positive energy. I'm sleeping better and wake up with a positive look at the day. There is so much I want to learn and experience that I know it will be a life long process."     – Janie Minick, Graphic Designer

About Tai Chi
The ancient Chinese martial art of Tai Chi has not only self-defense qualities but also numerous day-to-day mind, body, and spirit benefits that can help people of all ages. Whether the focus is school, work, or play, Tai Chi offers you the opportunity for daily balance and coordination, managing stress, gaining the upper hand in tough situations, or simply slowing down life's hectic schedule.

All classes include relaxation and breathing techniques as well as Chi Kung exercises, which cultivate and enhance your inner energy. Our Tai Chi Chuan classes include activities and exercises for all age ranges from seniors to teenagers, for all skill levels from students to athletes. The practice of Tai Chi has a long list of documented health benefits including stress management, fall prevention and decrease in blood pressure. Tai Chi has been recommended for the treatment of arthritis, osteoporosis, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, circulation and nervous system disorders, CFS, and OCD, to name a few.
