MOUNT VERNON – If you have not taken advantage of the opportunity to experience the benefits of Tai chi, now is the perfect time! The slow, synchronized movements of Tai Chi put minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. It is easy to learn and use, whether you can stand or sit. Perfect for people with arthritis, the benefits of the class may include reduced pain and stiffness, improved ability to cope with stress and depression, improved muscle strength and stamina as well as improved posture and increased circulation, heart and lung function.
A new Level 1 workshop on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-5 pm begins on September 13 and is held weekly for 4 weeks at the Center for Rehabilitation and Wellness, 1375 Yauger Road.
For more information or to register, please call Jason Mentzer, Wellness Coordinator, at 740.393.9875. There is a small fee for the workshop.
