Start the New Year with Tai Chi for Health

Healthy Acadia wants to help you begin the new year on a positive note. Give yourself the gift of improved health and wellbeing while taking time to relax, boost your immunity, and strengthen your mind and body with Tai Chi for Health. Healthy Acadia will be kicking off a new round of eight-week online courses starting the second week in January. While classes are free, donations are suggested.

Tai Chi helps empower people to improve their health and overall wellbeing through gentle mind-body exercises. While developed by the Tai Chi for Health Institute to bring health benefits as quickly as possible for specific conditions, all courses are appropriate and beneficial for people of all ages and physical abilities. 

“Tai chi is a form of moving meditation,” said an anonymous tai chi participant, “it helps me relax and remain flexible, strong and balanced.”
