• Tai Chi Gung at the Chi Institute
  This ancient martial art is well known for improving cardiovascular strength, reducing high blood pressure, strengthening the hips, toning the body, and increasing overall longevity. Students in Asia often practice Tai Chi Gung late into their 80's. Come and learn the eighteen techniques of Tai Chi Gung. Thirty-five-minute sessions practiced two to four times per week can promote better health and contribute to overall well-being.
  The chi institute will offer tai chi gung classes to any group of six students or more. The class is $25 per student. The class can be scheduled for one day a week (Monday through Saturday), for six consecutive weeks, before 10:30 am. To schedule your group, make an appointment now at (225) 336-4111.
