‘BACK TO BASICS’ HERBAL SERIES

TAI CHI ON THE VILLAGE GREEN

Meanwhile, Davidson Parks & Rec also is preparing to offer a Tai Chi series on the Village Green beginning in May with instructor Joe Martin.

Requiring only one meter of space, “Tai Chi for the Living Room” is designed to provide students with all of the benefits of other forms of Tai Chi, but in 1/10 of the time and with 1/10 the frustration! If you’ve ever quit studying Tai Chi because you couldn’t wait years to reap the fruits of your labor, then this class is for you.

Tai Chi On The Davidson Village Green
Day/Time/Date: Thurs., 1:30 – 2:30 p.m., May 5-26
Fee: $50.00
Location: Davidson Village Green
