Tai Chi

NOTE: Since we did not meet the minimum to run this class for the May 8 session, we are cancelling this session. We are planning a new session and hope that we will meet the minimum to run the class. The new session has a new date and time which is TUESDAYS from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and it will start on Tuesday, May 21. The registration deadline is on Friday, May 17 for the new session.

Often called a ”moving meditation” Tai Chi has its roots in martial arts. The movements are practiced slowly and smoothly with attention to proper posture and breathing. Tai Chi is easy to learn, effective and safe, it increases flexibility, muscle strength, and heart/lung activity, aligns posture, improves balance, and integrates the mind and body. Studies show a 70% reduction in reoccurring falls, 35% reduction in arthritis pain and an increase in performance of activities of daily living. Regular Tai Chi practice lowers high blood pressure, improves the immune system, reduces stress and increases strength and balance. Time Magazine called Tai Chi "the perfect exercise" - especially for the older adult.

Classes taught by Master Tai Chi Trainer Ralph Dehner Certified Tai Chi Instructor, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant and one of only 17 Master/Trainers in Dr. Paul Lam’s Tai Chi for Health programs in the U.S.

Max 25. Cost $80 resident/$90 non-resident.

Kids love to swim, bike and run, so triathlon is a perfect sport for them. But putting all three together is a little more complicated, physically and mentally. We will prepare your child for the endurance of a kids distance, give them confidence on their bikes, and how to transition safely from one sport to the next. We emphasize having fun and feeling good at the finish, safety, and the rules of the sport. Parents should plan to stay at the last session as we will go over how to support your child before and during the race, what is allowed, and important nutrition tips the week of the race (hydration and what to eat). A handout will be provided each week for review. Designed for kids who have never done a triathlon, or who have done one or two.

Program taught by Elyse Jarard, certified triathlon training coach, owner of Montgomery’s Venus For Her.
