Tai Chi (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Tai Chi is practiced throughout the world to improve health and agility. A study has shown that people over the age of 60 and well into their nineties who practice Tai Chi are 80 percent less likely to lose their balance and fall.

This class will focus on the "short form" of 32 postures and is intended to assist individuals in starting a home practice. Instructor John Falls, LAc, has recently reinitiated his own home practice after studying Tai Chi with local masters off and on over the last 25 years.

Using a DVD created by Master Terry Dunn, students will learn one to three postures per night. After each posture is gone through several times, the instructor will help individuals move into the balance and fluidity of each posture.

Learn Tai Chi in a playful, compassionate and non-demanding environment during this series of four sessions on Mondays, December 7 through 28 from 6 to 7 p.m.

The cost is $49 (DVD available for purchase separately). Allina Hospitals & Clinics employees receive a 15 percent discount.
