Because tai chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, it is generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. Join Andy Wikman, practitioner of tai chi for over 15 years, to learn more about this ancient form of exercise and to see a demonstration of this fun way to burn calories, reduce stress and increase range of motion.
