Tai Chi for Anxiety and Better Balance

GENINT 721.693

Osher (50+). In this course, we practice traditional tai chi to deepen balance and reduce anxiety.

About this course:

Tai Chi is well-known for bringing the mind, body, and spirit together to improve balance, prevent injury, and promote good health. This peaceful martial art helps to clear the mind, reduce stress, and enhance flexibility along with promoting overall wellness. The steps are soft, and the slow movements are simple. The postures and movements accord with the principles of yin and yang and build an intimate awareness with one’s natural internal and external energy, building a great sense of inner peace. In this course, we introduce a new tai chi posture each week after a one-hour tai chi flow sequence. In the process, we learn how to open the body’s energy pathways and prepare for proper tai chi form training, while focusing on deepening our balance and reducing anxiety. Students must sign a waiver before participation.
