TAI CHI FOR BEGINNERS: Mondays, 10 to 11 a.m. (no class from June 26 through July 10). No experience necessary,
wear comfortable clothes and flat soled shoes. The object of this class, taught by Mary Cel Curtis, is to introduce you to
the benefits and wonders of Tai Chi. The benefits are many: better balance; stress management; building stronger joints
and muscles; exercising the brain; improving your health; increasing self-esteem; and most important of all, having fun.
The wonders of Tai Chi are how it makes you feel physically and mentally. The form that we will be studying is 'Yang 13'.
There are 13 different tai chi moves in a flowing sequence. Each move has its own purpose, meditative as well as martial.
Come join us for some easy exercising and fun. $10 per class, registration not required.

TAI CHI/QIGONG: Fridays, 10 to 11 a.m. Beginning 14 April, Richard will conduct a series of "experiential" tai chi and
qigong classes. These classes are designed to give students at any level of expertise the ability to understand the
difference between the 2 systems, tai chi and qigong, and which they should attend. Every 2 weeks the system will
change. This series is to provide the knowledge of what potential students may want to do to help themselves through tai
chi or qigong, major components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Each class is $9 and students drop in, drop out
as they want. Registration not required.

heavy breakfast. For further information or if you have questions, please call Linda Anderson at 941-575-3500 or
