Tai Chi and Qi Gung (Chi Kung) are health technologies evolved over thousands of years of research in China, and are growing in popularity worldwide. They are used in hospitals, wellness centers, prisons, schools, and other institutions.
Research has shown that Tai Chi and Qi Gung may reduce anxiety, depression and chronic pain conditions.
These classes boost the immune system, improve respiratory and cardiovascular function, and burn calories.
Both have also been proven valuable to dramatically improve balance, offer powerful stress management tools and slow aspects of the aging process.
When attending the April 27 event at Sutter Lakeside please use right rear lower parking lot and follow signs to the Healing House.
Kottler offers weekly Tai Chi classes on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. at the SPMF Lakeside Wellness Center.
