TAI CHI FOR SKIERS
Instructor Joe Kahn is offering Tai Chi at the Amos and Julia Ward theatre in Jay Tuesday evenings at 5:30pm starting October 18th.
Tai Chi is an ancient martial art/health practice that originated in China and has spread throughout the world. It is known for slow flowing movements that enhance balance, circulation, leg strength, relaxation, blood pressure and attitude. Less well know are the two person activities that add dynamic energy interaction. These activities help develop core power, body awareness, energy flow and improved balance while being acted upon by outside forces. The course shall use both practice techniques.
Our course will be aimed mainly at cross country skiers but will be beneficial to all those who participate in sliding sports or wish to become more stable in everyday life during the upcoming winter.
The instructor for the Tai Chi class, Joe Kahn has been the director of the Nordic Ski School at the Olympic Sports Complex at Mt. Van Hoevenberg since 1996 and incorporates Tai Chi principles into his teaching on a daily basis. He has studied Tai Chi since 1994 and practices daily. This will be the 4th session he has taught at JEMS (Jay Entertainment and Music Society) and the first aimed mainly at skiers and boarders.
The class will run on Tuesday evenings at 5:30 PM at the JEMS, Amos and Julia Ward Theater
on the Jay Village Green Rt. 9N in Jay. It will run from October 18th to November 23rd.
The cost for the class will be $50 for the 6 weeks or $10 per class. For reservations or more information email:
jhlkahn@frontiernet.net
Fifty percent of the fees will go to benefit JEMS. |
