Senior center

offers Tai Chi

Tai Chi classes are held at 3 p.m. each Wednesday at the Hendricks County Senior Center.

Membership in the Senior Center is required to participate.

The cost is $5 per class.

Tai Chi is described as an internal martial art used to improve health. Movements flow slowly from one to the next as participants move their hands and feet, and shift weight. Studies show Tai Chi may help reduce stress, improve balance, improve heart and immune health, increase flexibility, improve mood, and energize participants.

Tai Chi Easy is a modified Tai Chi program that allows for easy application into a daily routine. Tai Chi Easy can be learned by anyone, in any physical condition, anywhere. No experience is necessary and no special equipment is needed.

The Hendricks County Senior Center is at 1201 Sycamore Lane, Danville. For more information, call HCSC at 745-4303.
