Engineering Tai Chi (MME and ECE)

Join us for three Tuesdays beginning on October 29th through to November 12th for Engineering Tai Chi! We will have two sessions offered per Tuesday - one beginning at 11:30am to 12:30pm, and the other from 12:30pm to 1:30pm. All skill levels (from never tried it, to expert) and all styles are welcome!

Why Tai Chi? Conventional medical science on the Chinese art of Tai Chi now shows that regular practice leads to more vigor and flexibility, better balance and mobility, and a sense of wellbeing. Cutting-edge research from Harvard Medical School found that Tai Chi has a beneficial impact on the health of the heart, bones, nerves and muscles, immune system, and the mind. From the Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi, by Peter M. Wayne.

A special, short, yang-style form that can be learned in a few sessions has been created for the UWaterloo community.
