Tai Chi in the Garden
Join teacher Silvia Salinas, AP for Tai Chi at the Garden. The class takes place weekly from 10:00 am - 11:00 am in the Banyan Ballroom or on the patio/lawn (weather permitting).
Designed for beginners, but also enjoyable for long-time practitioners, this class focuses on the foundation of the movements. The health benefits of Tai Chi include improved flexibility, strength, and balance. Through its fluid movements Tai Chi stimulates deep breathing and blood circulation, without straining the heart and other muscles, making it safe for all physical levels.
