Join our community partner, Healthy Acadia, for a tai chi series to help empower people to improve their health and well-being through slow, smooth, and continuous mind-body exercises. This program is recognized by the USA CDC as being a highest-tiered evidence-based program for improving balance, strength, flexibility, and confidence. While especially effective for arthritis, this program is appropriate for anyone who wants to improve their health and wellness. Tai Chi practice can help:
- Alleviate Pain

- Increase strength, flexibility, and balance
- Improve cognitive function and coordination
