Take Charge With Tai Chi
Sunday, October 18, 7–8 am

Rise early for a one-hour Tai Chi class and you’ll have far more energy than if you slept in. Carl Bell, MD, CCHP, an eminent psychiatrist, NCCHC board member and longtime Tai Chi instructor, will demonstrate how the practice of this ancient discipline integrates mind with body to restore natural health and relieve stress. The slow, controlled movements, deep breathing and use of mental imagery work in harmony to boost balance, flexibility, vitality and inner strength. The class is appropriate for all levels. Wear loose, comfortable clothes. Please sign up for this free event when you register for the conference.
