Yoga and tai chi are both low-impact forms of exercise that consists of a series of breath practices with body movement and meditation to attain deep focus and a relaxed state.
A regular practice of yoga and tai chi help improve your balance, flexibility, strength, mobility, mood, quality of life, range of motion, reflexes, and thinking skills. They also reduce pain and your risk of falls.
Classes are open to active-duty service members, veterans, first responders, and their family members.
