Tai Chi
Exercising Body and Mind
Tai Chi (pronounced 'tie-chee') is known for its many health benefits.
The slow graceful movements pay dividends in increasing strength and muscle
tone, enhanced range of motion, flexibility and coordination. Tai Chi is also
helpful for improving a persons' balance and fall prevention.
Qigong (pronounced 'chee-gong') is a sequence of slow, gentle fitness exercises

general aches and pains are less apparent.
