SSAC is pleased to offer a new Community Program. The Canadian Tai Chi Academy will be renting the auditorium and has graciously invited our members to join them Thursday mornings from 10:00 until 11:30.
Due to this community structure, entrance through the back door is preferable. David Carson has structured this as a beginners’ class, which will run until end of January 2022.
Rest assured protocols are followed and all participants must show proof of fully vaccinated. SSAC membership cards with green stickers will be accepted. If you do not have a green sticker, a valid vaccine passport must be shown prior to entry.
Tai Chi for Your Health
Tai Chi is a complete whole-body exercise.
- Tai Chi can be practiced anywhere, anytime, with no need for special gear or a change of clothing.
- Practiced by millions of people over the centuries, Tai Chi has been proven helpful to the health of the body.
One of the reasons that people feel so good when they are doing Tai Chi is that the movements are relaxing, even at the beginner level. This is because the nature of the movements tends to naturally stretch the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in a
gentle manner.
The Benefits of Tai Chi
Regular Tai Chi practice has been found to help reverse the physical effects of stress as well as restore harmony both physically and mentally.
Physical benefits:
- Improved flexibility, balance, immune function, cardiovascular function and motor coordination.
- Reduction in pain and tension.
- Better sleep patterns and increased energy.
Mental benefits:
- Reduced stress and anxiety, increased ability to relax, better concentration and focus, and an enhanced sense of well-being.
Come out and enjoy a class! $5 cash (SSAC PassCards are not accepted for this activity).
Tai Chi at SSAC is offered in conjunction with the Canadian Tai Chi Academy. For more information about this not-for-profit organization, please visit their website canadiantaichiacademy.org.
