Summer Tai Chi on the River

Summer Tai Chi on the River will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 10 weeks throughout the summer at 7 a.m. on the Deep River Landing on River Street, Deep River. There is no charge to be a part of the class. It will be taught again this year by David Shaver of Peaceful Wolf T’ai Chi Ch’uan in East Haddam. Shaver has studied the arts of tai chi and qigong for 29 years and taught them for 22. The class is for both beginners and experienced people.

The Deep River Rotary Club has sponsored this class each summer for many years, and residents from throughout the area gather at this beautiful location early in the morning for exercise, peace of mind, and well-being. These gentle exercises are accessible to anyone. This summer program is Rotary’s gift to the community.

The class will include a warm-up to gather and healing movements to promote flow of energy in the body. Basic principles of T’ai Chi And Qigong will also be practiced and discussed. All are welcome to come and open body and spirit to these ancient techniques as morning breaks over the river, the herons fly by, and life awakens.
