Houston Arboretum & Nature Center to offer new Tai Chi class August 18, 2009

The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center is pleased to offer a Continuing Tai Chi class in addition to its successful Introductory Tai Chi class. Tai Chi Chuan is a centuries-old Chinese martial art that has evolved into a highly effective form of exercise, regardless of age or physical ability. Tai Chi involves a series of slow, meditative body movements that are excellent for repairing injuries, de-stressing and finding inner peace.

Continuing Tai Chi is for students wishing to further develop Tai Chi skills and knowledge. Prior enrollment in Introductory Tai Chi is required. Class is held inside an Arboretum classroom overlooking the forest on Tuesdays from 5:45-6:45 p.m. and Saturdays from 10-11 a.m.

For those with little or no Tai Chi experience, Introductory Tai Chi is offered Wednesdays from 5:45-6:45 p.m. Cost (for Introductory or Continuing) is $15 per session; however, students who sign up for one calendar month of classes receive a discount.
