Ta’i Chi in the Garden

The Yang style T'ai Chi class is offered as an exercise routine based on the ancient martial art of T'ai Chi. The objective of the class is to promote flexing of joints, toning of muscles, and increasing strength to promote improved balance and wellness. In addition, the flowing, low-impact exercises develop relaxation skills and mental focus. The practice follows a sequence of standing postures that will be taught by Ta’i Chi practitioner Cheryl Ornick. Participants must sign up for the entire 10-class series. Clothing that allows unrestricted movement, and flat shoes or cushioned socks are suggested. $110 for WVBG members; $140 for non-members. Space is limited, register today! Please pre-register for ALL activities 48 hours in advance at www.wvbg.org. All activities take place at the West Virginia Botanic Garden, 1061 Tyrone Road, Morgantown, WV 26508 unless otherwise noted. Park in the lower parking area. Programs will last approximately 1.5-2 hours unless otherwise noted. Donations are appreciated and can be made online, or at the kiosk by the lower lot.
