with Elissa Berardi

​Tai Chi  is a system of beautiful, flowing movements used by millions of people around the world as a healing, strengthening and meditative exercise.  Chi-kung (Qigong) is a similar, but a more ancient mind-body system for cultivating our natural energy.

Regular practice of these closely related arts increases balance control and flexibility, and promotes health, strength, confidence, longevity, and peace of mind.  The N.Y. Times recently reported studies show that Tai Chi can ease fibromyalgia and help people with conditions that include arthritis, Parkinson's disease, osteopenia and high blood pressure.
