Tai Chi is one old form of Chinese exercise beneficial to
health, and it is also a subtle, sophisticated, and scientific
method of self-defense. It is basically made out of several
forms or sets originally derived from martial arts, and it
takes the forms of the natural movements of animals and
birds. However, unlike martial arts, Tai Chi is performed
deliberately slow, softly, and gracefully with smooth and
even transitions between movements. Those who practice
regularly will develop a healthy body and a calm, tranquil
mind. It also provides a practical avenue for learning about
balance, alignment, fine-scale motor control, and rhythm
of movement. Therefore, the practice will enable you to
better stand, walk, run and correct poor posture. This program is suitable for people of all ages and requires no
special equipment. Class will meet at the Gauntlett
Community Center. Lucia Coren will provide authentic
Chinese instruction.

captivate for life. The routines feature interval training
sessions where fast and slow rhythms are combined to
tone and sculpt the total body while burning fat, especially targeting the mid-section. Zumba® Fitness is so fun

Latin infused zumba moves to create a calorie-torching,
strength-training dance fitness party. Students learn how
to use lightweight, maraca-like toning sticks to enhance
rhythm and tone all their target zones, including arms, abs
and thighs. Zumba Toning is a perfect way for enthusiasts
to sculpt their bodies naturally while having a blast. Please
