Monthly Reflection

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.

Tai Chi


T'ai Chi is a Chinese martial art that includes a series of slow rhythmic exercises emphasizing balance and body coordination. Anyone can practice irrespective of age, gender or athletic ability.

T'ai Chi increases circulation throughout the body, improves balance and flexibility. It requires relaxation of the mind and body and is therefore practiced not only for developing physically, but also mentally. T'ai Chi movements can be practiced slowly as a form of meditation or can be adapted for self-defense training. T'ai Chi helps increase body coordination, balance, overall fitness and health and also lowers stress and anxiety levels.


Learn to reduce stress, calm your mind and improve your balance with Tai Chi.  These classes are a moving meditation and a powerful key to relaxation, reducing stress, increasing strength and concentration.  The form of Tai Chi taught is from the Yang style.  It is appropriate for those experiencing chronic pain or illness or anyone looking for a relaxing form of movement.
