Clarksville, Tenn. – Another session of Tai Chi for Arthritis will begin on August 11 at the Crow Community Center, located at 211 Richview Road.

There are a total of eight one-hour sessions included in the program. Tai Chi will take place on Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., August 11 through September 29.

Tai Chi involves stretching and various chair exercises. Improved balance, increased flexibility, and reduced stress are possible benefits participants can receive.

Studies show that Tai Chi improves and possibly prevents chronic conditions including arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. It also relaxes and improves overall mind, body, and spirit.

The program is available for adults of any age who are interested. The class is limited to a maximum of 20 people, so participants are encouraged to register soon.

The cost for the entire eight-week program is $20. Participants can register at the Crow Center, the Clarksville Parks and Recreation Main office, or online. A Community Center ID is required and can be purchased for $5. Center IDs are good for one calendar year.
