RECREATION
T'ai Chi Spring/Summer Program
|
Due to COVID-19, we hope to announce a mid-June 2020 start date with any required social distance adjustments. TBA SOON
SCHEDULE: TBA
Wednesdays, 7:00-8:30pm LOCATION: Northwest corner of Palmer Park at Pontchartrain and 7 Mile, just west of the Police Station. 
T’ai Chi is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. Medical research has found evidence that t’ai chi is helpful for improving balance and for general psychological health.
Under the experienced instruction of Peter Guenther, People for Palmer Park is excited to bring T’ai Chi back for spring/summer season outdoors at the park, now ON WEDNESDAY EVENINGS. Sessions happen on the lawn at the northwest end of the park, at Pontchartrain and 7 Mile Rd. Come dressed to move! All levels welcome to join us. To get the most out of this practice, try to attend as many classes as you can. Be sure to connect with People for Palmer Park on Facebook. We will create a new "Event" page for each class and provide weather/cancellation updates! * REMEMBER! We also have TEXT ALERTS! * Weather cancellations and instructor messages sent directly to your phone. Easy instructions on how to sign up here! IMPORTANT! You will need to sign up again this year! We apologize for the inconvenience, but there was a problem with our database and all sign ups were deleted prior to April 2019. PLEASE NOTE: A waiver form must be completed once per season to participate in this program. This can be done at the Park prior to a class, or to save time, printed/filled out in advance and turned in to our T'AI CHI instructor, Peter at class. THANKS!

Here’s an article about the lineage of the version of taijiquan (T’ai Chi) we practice: http://ymaa.com/articles/ymaa-taijiquan-lineage.
Our teacher, Peter, learned this form from several students of Dr. Yang, both locally and in Boston, including a couple seminars with Dr. Yang himself.
