Tai Chi at Jewish Congregation of Oak Ridge

Times: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 9:30am

Tai Chi Set Leaders: Lyle Bennett, Claudia Earhart, Al Good, Lalia Wilson

The Tai Chi set consists of a series of 108 gentle flowing movements, which flex and strengthen joints, tendons, and muscles throughout the body. These movements are adaptable to all ages and states of health. While there is no official instruction, we encourage anyone to come and join in our practice.

We practice a version of Yang style tai chi. Our class leaders were originally trained by the Taoist Tai Chi Society. Tai chi has developed over a millennium to improve one’s health. Recent Western medical studies have confirmed a variety of health benefits from the practice of Tai Chi, such as improved balance, reduced blood pressure, improved cardiac health, reduced swelling in arthritic joints, and improved mental health. Tai Chi is the only form of exercise that has been shown to prevent falls.
