Tai Chi
Experience meditation in motion. Tai Chi is a low-impact, slow-motion exercise through a series of actions, including animal movements and martial arts movements. Tai Chi is different from other activities because motions are usually circular and never forced, which relaxes the muscles instead of tensing them – joints are not fully extended or bent and connective tissues are not stretched. You could call Tai Chi “medication in motion.”
Registration by phone or in-person is available during our hours of operation — register to any of our new Fitness Classes online 24/7. To enrol in person, visit our Welcome Centre in the Alumni Hall.
