Tai Chi Classes will be offered on Wednesdays from September 15 to November 3 from 10 to 11am and held at the Stoneham Senior Center, 126 Elm St. in Stoneham.
Led by a certified instructor, the classes feature a combination of slow, continuous movements with deep breathing. Tai Chi is often referred to as “meditation in motion,” and there is growing evidence that practicing Tai Chi has value in treating and preventing a range of health issues. Our practice is gentle, requiring a small range of motion and can be done standing or seated.
