Tai Chi by Webinar
20 May to 24 June 2021 (6 classes)
Thursdays, 10.30am - 11.15am AEST
Tai Chi is a centuries-old mind-body practice that involves performing sequences of slow, flowing motions. Its main focus is on health and wellbeing rather than on fitness and it incorporates the use of the smaller muscle groups. Tai Chi is usually done standing, but many of the movements can also be done while sitting.
This six-week program is presented by Josephine Couper. Josephine has been registered as a teacher with the Wushu Tai Chi Qi Gong Australia (WTQA) for 11 years.
This program is suitable for people with moderate ability and those wishing to improve their balance and strengthen muscle tone in a gentle and relaxing way.
