Deanne Endobron is back to teach traditional Yang Style Tai Chi online. Tai Chi is an
ancient form of Chinese exercise done with mindful movement combined with balanced
and relaxed postures. This class is for all abilities. For continuing students this is a
review and will begin with moves from the Basic Eight. Each movement will be taken
separately to make it easier to follow on screen. Tuesdays & Thursdays, September 15-
29 at 9:00 a.m. $15 (Deanne and students pictured at the top of the page).
