Mind & Body Classes
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that is practiced as a system of exercise, and that consists of a series of postures performed slowly and continuously with relaxed abdominal breathing. It is sometimes called moving meditation and it can be practiced without any special equipment. It’s sure to help with joint flexibility, balance and calming the mind.
Sound frequencies have a profound impact on our brainwaves, bringing our mind, body, and spirit into alignment through soothing soundwaves. Facilitated by Khaki Martin on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
