Healthy Acadia is Offering in Person and Virtual Tai Chi Courses this Summer

Healthy Acadia invites you to explore the mindful, restorative practice of “Tai Chi for Health” through their free, virtual and in-person class offerings. “Tai Chi for Health” classes introduce gentle movements that promote improved health through the integration of both mind and body.

Tai Chi helps empower people to improve their health and wellbeing through slow, smooth and continuous mind-body exercises. While developed by the Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI) to bring health benefits as quickly as possible for specific conditions, the courses are appropriate and beneficial for people of all ages and levels of physical ability.
