Join us on Wednesday, May 8th at 7:30 pm Eastern / 6:30 pm Central / 5:30 pm Mountain / 4:30 pm Pacific for our next 90-minute event.  

Join us for an introduction to Qi Gong and Tai chi movements, with Kirsten Benson.  Both Qi Gong and Tai Chi are gentle practices which help to improve:

• Balance & Stability: Reduce falls & move with confidence.
• Strength & Flexibility: Build resilience & move with ease.
• Stress & Pain Relief: Find inner peace & manage discomfort.

Connect with fellow Connect Group members and discover the benefits of Tai Chi! No experience needed! Open to all ages and abilities. Comfortable clothes recommended and a chair without casters. Join us and rediscover the joy of movement!
