Healthy Acadia invites you to explore the benefits of tai chi practice with Nina Zeldin, on Thursday, August 5, 2021, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., via Zoom. Join Nina for a relaxing and restorative hour of tai chi practice with Nina Zeldin. The free online event is the fifth installment in Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series.
Tai chi, an ancient Chinese art, helps empower people to improve their health and wellbeing through slow, smooth, and continuous mind-body exercises. Often referred to as meditation and/or medication in motion, “Tai chi was created based on nature and harmony. The gentle flowing movements contain inner power that strengthens the body, improves mental balance, and brings better health and harmony to people’s lives. Nowadays, tai chi is practiced in every corner of the world for health improvement. And for good reasons. Scientific studies show that tai chi improves and possibly prevents chronic conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. In addition, it improves balance, immunity and reduces stress. In fact, tai chi improves practically any aspect of health.”- Tai Chi for Health Institute
Nina Zeldin, Community Health Coordinator with Healthy Acadia and a Tai Chi for Health Institute Senior Trainer, will introduce tai chi principles while leading participants in movements from three of tai chi’s most popular styles; Chen, Yang, and Sun.
