FREE group fitness sessions for Older Adults ages 60+ with Evanston area fitness professionals.   

April 9:  Tai Chi with Peter from McGaw YMCA
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition practiced as a gentle, non-competitive martial art that combines slow, flowing movements with deep breathing and meditation.  Often described as "meditation in motion," it promotes physical health, mental calm, and the cultivation of inner energy (qi). It is suitable for all fitness levels, focusing on posture, balance, and relaxation.

Are you an Older Adult age 60+ who is looking to stretch, move, work on your core strength and balance, get stronger, and keep healthy and active? We'll have you saying "Aha!" aha! (active healthy aging) is a FREE monthly fitness and wellness program designed especially for you!

You'll want to dress for movement; and bring a water bottle, small towel, and a mask (if you want one, or as required by the latest City health guidelines).
