Norwalk Hospital to offer Tai Chi classes starting Aug. 12
Posted on 08/01/2010
NORWALK Norwalk Hospital's Tai Chi classes will be open for new students starting on Aug. 12 from 5:30 to 6 p.m. in the Patio Room. Classes continue for eight weeks, with a break on Sept. 23. Advanced classes for established students start at 6 p.m., and are open to those with the permission of the instructor. Tai Chi, the gentle form of exercise often referred to as meditation in motion, has been practiced in China for hundreds of years. The ancient art helps relieve stress, increase strength and flexibility, and improve balance, coordination and circulation. Its slow and graceful movements make it accessible to anyone regardless of age or level of physical fitness. Tai Chi Chuan improves overall physical and mental health and is also an effective martial art. The instructor, Gwen Roman, has extensive experience in the Arts of Tai Chi Chuan and Jin Shin Jyutsu. She currently continues her studies with Myles MacVane and Master Alex Dong, and she has taught classes in Ridgefield and Shelton for many years. Emphasis will be on basic fundamentals of the art for health rather than on the martial form of the art. The cost for all eight sessions is $40 ($80 for advanced classes). To register, please e-mail nutrition@norwalkhealth.org or contact Cindy Allen at (203) 855-3548.
