Wellesong

Register now for our short 4-class course to introduce you to the wonderful benefits of practicing Tai Chi! Fitness, Friendship, and Fun - a winning combination!

Beginning one week from today, you can relax your mind, strengthen your body, enhance your flexibility, and do all-of-the-above with some great people ... through Tai Chi.

The City's program partners at Wellesong will be back leading Tai Chi classes starting August 21 at (and, weather permitting, on the lawn outside) the Community Center at Milton City Park and Preserve. They're offering two class options every Monday through September 18 except for Labor Day: Intro to Tai Chi (from 9 to 10 a.m.) as well as Tai Chi for Advanced Beginners/Experienced (from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.).

In other words, there's a good option for anyone, whether they've never tried Tai Chi before or have more expertise in what's often called "meditation in motion." To sign-up, go to www.miltonga.gov/Registration and click the "Tai Chi" tab.

This fall, people can practice “meditation in motion” – as tai chi is often described – at Milton’s new Community Center.

Instructors from Wellesong, the City’s program partner, will offer two sets of classes for adults between September 12 through October 24. The “beginner” class will run from 9 to 10 a.m., while the session for “Advanced Beginners” (in the Yang Style 24 Form) will be from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. The whole 6-session class costs $90 for residents and $135 for non-residents.

According to the Mayo Clinic, tai chi can help lessen stress, anxiety, and depression; boost energy and stamina; improve flexibility, muscle strength, and balance – and much more. And what better place to learn and practice it than the recently renovated Community Center, with windows overlooking the nature trail at Milton City Park and Preserve (1785 Dinsmore Road).
