In Triangle Park, on the last Saturday of April, members of a local Tai Chi Club joined in the global event known as World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. This was the third year that the club had participated in the event, which aims to promote the numerous health benefits of practicing Tai Chi and QiGong.
The purpose of World Tai Chi and Qigong Day is to create a wave of energy and intention for world peace and health. Hundreds of clubs from at least 80 countries participate in the event, performing their forms at 10 a.m. local time. The motto for the event is “One World, One Breath,” emphasizing global togetherness and harmony.
Tai Chi is often described as “moving meditation,” requiring regular practice to achieve meditative benefits. Local beginner classes are available at the STEP Senior Center in Lock Haven. Harvard Health Publications have recognized Tai Chi as “moving medication” due to its numerous health benefits.
