Activities
FLC Seniors Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a centuries-old Chinese Martial Art consisting of slow, rhythmic, and focused movements that promote peace, calm, and strength by harnessing ones personal energy into unique flow patterns. Seniors, in particular, have reported the many benefits of Tai Chi when practiced on a regular basis:
- Improved balance, endurance, and flexibility
- Reduced pain, stress, and blood pressure levels
- Improved posture, core area strength, and mental focus
- Improved health, and a sense of well being.
FLC Seniors offers Cai Tai Chi which is based on the 105-movement traditional Yang Style, the most popular form practiced in China.
Instructors: Our classes for the fall session will be led by Master Vicky Wu and Virginia Wu, using the Cai method of instruction. Students are taught in a friendly and sociable group environment where the focus is on quality, rather than quantity, of movements learned.
