Hone Your Life Energy

OLLI’s Qigong/Tai Chi classes provide numerous benefits

Medical research has found evidence that Tai Chi is helpful for improving balance and psychological health, and that it is associated with general health benefits in older people. The ancient Chinese martial art of form is performed without high impact and uses minimal strenuous activity. Coupled with Qigong, OLLI is excited to offer two unique classes with the goal of improving students’ well-being.

Qigong is the practice of aligning body, breath, and mind for health, meditation, and martial arts training. With roots in Chinese medicine and philosophy, it’s traditionally viewed as a method to cultivate and balance what has been translated as “life energy.”

Upcoming Courses:

• Qigong/Tai Chi for Seniors I: Starts July 14 – 10-11 a.m. – $119
• Qigong/Tai Chi for Seniors II: Starts July 16 – 10-11 a.m. – $119

“I like it when my students leave feeling a little stronger and smarter from having come to the class,” said Phil Robinson, instructor of both courses. “If they leave feeling aglow, then I’ve done my job.”

Techniques Taught:

• Stronger posture
• Improved balance
• Strengthened and toned muscles
• Enhanced concentration
• Proper breathing

Students also benefit from learning new ways to improve health, reduce stress and defend themselves.
