Tai Chi - 6 Week Series

Join us for this NEW 6 Week series! Taught by Steve Reiland. Here is his journey with Tai Chi:

I personally discovered the life-giving benefits of Tai Chi in 2009 when I was working as a Wellness Chaplain in a senior community near Seattle. The Pacific Northwest Regional Office of the Arthritis Foundation introduced me to a program called Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA). I had the opportunity to teach TCA in my workplace, at a Physical Therapy Clinic and in our local YMCA.

I soon began to see participants’ balance improve and listened as they expressed their growing confidence in their stability as they engaged in their everyday tasks and movements. Many described a sense of serenity as they practiced the mindfulness and abdominal breathing that Tai Chi fosters. They didn’t need to convince me of any of this though, for I was experiencing the same benefits!

Those benefits have been ongoing and expansive for me from those early days. I learned and taught longer Tai Chi Forms in both the Sun and Chen styles. I realized that Tai Chi was helping me holistically in body, mind and spirit. I had opportunities to facilitate inclusive workshops that focused on how one might incorporate Tai Chi into their personal spiritual practice. Now that I’m retired, I find joy in helping others discover for themselves the salubrious benefits of Tai Chi.

Our class will draw upon Sun Style Tai Chi movements to enhance a sense of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Sun Style is known for its smooth and flowing movements, which promote (1) improved balance and coordination; (2) increased flexibility and overall strength; (3) reduced stress and anxiety; and (4) enhanced mental focus and awareness. Its emphasis on stability and balance make it an ideal choice for enjoyable, proactive fall prevention. Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome. $90
