Qigong is the mother to Tai Chi and the practice of aligning breath, movement and awareness of exercise. It is a gentle but powerful Eastern form of exercise with slow and simple movements that encourage the smooth flow of Qi (energy) and, when practiced regularly, promotes longevity, decreases pain, alleviates stress and increases balance, strength and flexibility. This program is lead by Ginette Groome. There is a $4 fee paid to the instructor.

Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan is a slow constant movement that flows evenly from beginning to end. The movements are gentle and relaxed and support better balance, joint flexibility and overall health. This class will consist of a short form with new postures each day and a review of the previous ones learned.
Those already actively working on Tai Chi are welcome to come to the class. There will be some warm up exercises from Shaolin Temple Chi Kung. Wear loose clothing and smooth soled shoes.
Individual physical or medical issues (chronic or recent) will be taken into consideration and accommodated to the best of the instructor’s skills.
