Get ready for…👀

🌀 Tai Chi at The Rec SJI 🌀

🔹 Beginning January 4th, 2027– Mondays 3:30pm - 4:30pm and Wednesdays 2:30pm - 3:30pm

Some of the MANY benefits of practicing Tai Chi regularly:

🔹 Muscle strength
🔹 Joint health + pain relief
🔹 Sleep quality
🔹 Cognitive function
🔹 Stress + Anxiety reduction
🔹 Heart health + blood pressure
🔹 Balance + flexibility

Meet your teacher!

🔹 Dr. Melissa Deadman has been practicing tai chi and related martial and healing arts since 2009. She is the founder and executive director of the Sacred Culture Society, a nonprofit organization aimed at making alternative healing arts accessible to all who desire them. She will be teaching the long form of Classical Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan as well as a variety of qigong practices that support balance, leg strength, rooted flexibility, inner peace, and mental clarity.

🔹As her late teacher, TY Pang said, “The body needs movement, and the mind needs rest.” Making space for tai chi practice in our lives cultivates our skill in slowing down. By settling down the mind, we can better communicate with our bodies through feeling. Breathing nicely, we release stress, anxiety, and psychological fear while summoning clarity, peace, and balance.

🌀 Tai Chi will be included in our Land Membership, or is available with purchase of a Day Pass! First class is always FREE when you sign up at The Rec SJI— Where community meets and heals together! 🌀
