Kaiser Permanente is proud to announce the addition of monthly T’ai Chi Chuan classes at the Piedmont Park Green Market. The classes are being offered in addition to the monthly healthy cooking demonstrations that Kaiser Permanente currently hosts at the weekly market.

T’ai Chi Chuan is an ancient exercise which embodies China’s most profound concepts and principles of health and movement. Based on softness and awareness (rather than force and resistance) T’ai Chi has been recognized for thousands of years as both a method of self-cultivation and an unexcelled form of self defense. The classes will be held once a month from 9-10 a.m. in the community center. David Dunn, who has studied T’ai Chi Chuan, Qigong, and Chinese martial arts since 1979, will lead the classes.

The classes are on a first come first serve basis.
