Tai Chi Begins June 6th

The on-going Health and Wellness classes sponsored by WMU will feature a 6-week series, Tai Chi for Arthritis, on Mondays, June 6, 13, 20, and 27, and July 11 and 18.  The classes will be held in the Mission and Fellowship Center from 10:00a.m. until 11:00 a.m.  Jeanne Mathews, with the Southwestern Commission Area Agency on Aging, will be the instructor.

Recent studies have shown how the slow, graceful exercise, which originated centuries ago in China as a martial art, can improve balance, reduce stress, and offer arthritis pain relief.  Other benefits include:  increasing flexibility and muscle strength, increasing heart and lung activity, and aligning posture. 

No pre-registration is required.  Just show up!  Hope you can participate!
