Amherst Recreation is excited to offer Tai Chi Easy™ this spring. Class will be held at Clark Elementary School in the multi-purpose room with experienced instructor Susan Flanagan. (More information about the class can be found below)
Tai Chi has been described in Harvard Medical Publication '09 as " "meditation in motion," but it might as well be called "medication in motion"..." It is considered a staple fitness pracitce for seniors, but it also offers long-term benefits for all age groups.
In this low-impact, slow-motion exercise, you go without pausing through a
series of motions named for animal actions. Tai chi improves muscle strength, flexibility and balance, and research studies have found that the practice increased mineral bone density, boosted endurance, strengthened the lower body, and eased depression.

When: Wednesdays 4:00-5:00pm
Where: Clark Elementary School, 14 Foundry Street
