Tai Chi may also decrease stiffness and pain. Movements can be modified for the needs or weaknesses of individuals. So if you have poor balance, aches and pains – or none of these – come out for some fun!

The martial art of Yang Tai Chi increases your flexibility, decreases your stress, and improves your overall health through a series of choreographed movements.
