New beginning Taoist Tai Chi classes start next week in South Delta.

There are beginning Taoist Tai Chi classes in Tsawwassen and Ladner starting next week.

Tai chi is a gentle form of movement, explains Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi volunteer instructor Ruth Stubens.

“It’s a set of gentle movements that we do together that promotes health and helps to improve balance and stamina,” she says.

It’s designed specifically to improve health and balance, she says, adding anybody can do it no matter their age or physical condition.

“Often people come because they’re recovering from an illness or injury or surgery and they’re looking for a gentle form of exercise.”

Flexibility, balance, posture, circulation and mindfulness are among the benefits, she notes.

The upcoming classes are weekly. They run for four months. The cost depends on a participant’s age.

Classes start in Tsawwassen on Monday, Jan. 5 at St. David’s Anglican Church, 1115-51A St., and in Ladner on Wednesday, Jan. 7 at Ladner United Church, 4960-48th Ave.  

All classes run from 10 a.m. to noon and include a tea break. For more information call 604-681-6609 or visit www.taoist.org.
