McDowell Wellness Center is pleased to announce a new weekly Tai Chi class beginning Saturday, September 5, at 8:00 a.m. The class will be led by Stan Claunch, an experienced instructor with 30 years of teaching experience.

Tai Chi combines slow, controlled movements with focused breathing and mental concentration. This gentle, low-impact activity can help participants improve balance, flexibility, muscle strength, coordination, posture, and body awareness. The calming movements may also help reduce stress, relax the nervous system, and keep the mind engaged.

No previous Tai Chi experience is required. Stan will guide participants through each movement and help them learn at a comfortable pace. The class is suitable for most adults, including beginners and individuals looking for a joint-friendly way to remain active.
