Tai Chi
Contact: Annette Cole
Tai Chi is practiced throughout the world for its many health benefits. Tai Chi strengthens and mobilizes joints and muscles to improve physical fitness and mental relaxation. It is especially suitable as a therapy for arthritis because its movements are slow and gentle, and the level of exertion can be adjusted to suit each person's physical condition.
The Stewart County Extension partners with the Stewart County Senior Citizens Center to teach Tai Chi on Tuesdays at 10:00am.
