Gainesville Tai Chi
Gainesville Tai Chi is our Yang Tai Chi program in residence. Yang Tai Chi is by far the most widely practiced style, world-wide.
It is known for its slow, flowing movements, upright posture, and gentle transitions, making it accessible to people of nearly all ages and fitness levels.
Some of the key benefits include:
Improved Balance and Fall Prevention particularly for older adults
Greater Flexibility and Mobility-Gently increases range of motion in the joints
Reduces stiffness in the hips, shoulders, and spine
Promotes smooth, coordinated movement
Increased Strength-Builds leg and core strength without high-impact exercise
Improves postural muscles that support everyday activities
Enhances endurance through sustained movement
Stress Reduction-Combines mindful movement with deep, relaxed breathing
Classes are designed for the beginner. Classes meet 8-9pm Wednesdays & 9-10am Fridays.
Your Instructor, Mr. Steve Thomas is certified in both Yang Short and Long forms of the style.
