Tai Chi includes a slow series of movements through deep focused breathing. It is a non-competitive, gentle exercise that involves stretching and physical exercise. The practice of Tai Chi is not strenuous but has the positive effects of reducing stress and increasing muscle strength, balance and flexibility.

Multiple yoga classes are offered during the week. Strength and flexibility are emphasized along with deep breathing to reduce stress and increase range of motion. You can find our yoga classes on our activity calendar. Classes are priced differently, so please contact the center for more information.
