We are excited to introduce Tai Chi classes at Meadowlark beginning in January. If you're not familiar with Tai Chi, or want to learn more, we invite you to attend a special demonstration class at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, in the Event Center.

Mal Hoover, a Certified Tai Chi for Arthritis Instructor, will lead the session. She will explain the benefits of Tai Chi and demonstrate some of the movements participants will learn. Mal will also be joined by several current participants who will share their experiences and demonstrate what they've learned through the program.

The Tai Chi classes will be offered at no cost to participants, thanks to funding from the North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging. Tai Chi, as endorsed by the Tai Chi for Health Institute, can help improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, enhance cardiorespiratory fitness, and boost balance, all of which can significantly reduce the risk of falls.

Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 11, to discover how Tai Chi can benefit you, learn about class schedules, and register for the upcoming sessions in January.
