Recreation center offering free Tai Chi series
The Sanibel Recreation Center is offering a free, five-session Tai Chi workshop series.
Taught by volunteer Bob Vlahakis, the first session was held on Aug. 16 as an introductory class. Building with each class, the remaining sessions will be held on Aug. 18, 23, 25 and 30 at 8:30 a.m.
All skill levels are welcome.
Participation in every session is encouraged to gain the full experience.
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese form of “soft-style” martial art exercise that is based on slow fluid movements. It can reduce stress and generate mental calmness and clarity. Vlahakis’ instruction will focus on maintaining one’s center of gravity, while improving flexibility, balance and muscle tone.
Participants are encouraged to wear loose-fitting clothing and comfortable shoes.
Daily, weekly, semi-annual and annual memberships are available.
