*FREE* Tai Chi with Alex Culligan
Tuesday, February 27th at 8:30 AM @ Rogers Lake Clubhouse–
Join us as we start a new Tai Chi program! Instructor Alex will be leading this class, and he is bringing plenty of experience and expertise to the Lymes’ Senior Center! Research shows that practicing tai chi can improve balance, stability, and flexibility in older people, including those with Parkinson’s disease. Practiced regularly, it can also help reduce pain, especially from knee osteoarthritis, back problems, and fibromyalgia. On Tuesday, February 27th, we will be offering the first class of Tai Chi for free, so any interested members can come try it out! Please call (860)434-1605 ext. 241 to register for this class!
Starting in March, we will be offering Tai Chi in 4-week sessions. The cost for a 4-week session would be $30 for members. Payments for these sessions will be made to the Lymes’ Senior Center; payments can be dropped off or mailed to the Old Lyme Town Hall or brought to the first class. Please call (860)434-1605 ext. 241 if you would like to register for March’s 4-week session.
