T’ai Chi (or tai chi ch’uan) is claimed to be the oldest martial art. But it is also a gentle exercise that can provide innumerable health benefits for body, heart and mind. Practiced consistently, it can improve balance, lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, ease depression, and has even been shown to benefit those with Parkinson’s disease. Tai chi requires no special equipment and can be practiced anywhere there is a flat surface and a 5 ft. square of open space. The Beginning class is open to anyone who is interested. The Intermediate class is for those who have learned at least the “first third” of the form, and/or has the teacher’s permission. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and flat, flexible shoes.
Vicki Mehl has studied T’ai Chi since 1995. She enjoys T’ai Chi because of its innumerable physical and mental health benefits, and because there is always more to learn.
