We begin with chair work to open joints and release tension throughout the body. As the class progresses, we move to more challenging Temple style tai chi (can be done standing or sitting) which supports strength, endurance and balance. Many feel that the most valuable thing about the class is that it retrains the breathing to restore deep vitality.Instructor: Beatrice DeFranco Min 6/Max 20 Awareness through Movement Supervisor: Laura Greeley Resilience of Mind & Body for facing life's challenges!
