Every November we invite Nancy Olson, proprietor of Quail Ridge Books, to review her favorite new books.

Tai Chi
When:  every Wednesday, 9:30-10 am, Vaughan Fellowship Hall (sometimes outside)
Wear:  comfortable clothes and shoes
Contact:  Pastor Steve Halsted

After warming up with stretching exercises, we move through ten Tai Chi movements which have been modified for people with movement limitations.  In a standing position, we do the movement leading with the left foot, ground our energy, then repeat with the right foot, and finish by grounding our energy and meditating.  Movements are performed slowly to music.  No experience is required.
