Tai Chi practice group moves inside

Although Huntington Park provides beautiful scenery, the Tai Chi practice group has moved indoors to Unity Spiritual Center for the cold months.

Beautiful Huntington Park is the venue for the Tai Chi practice group, where they do exercises benefitting all parts of the body. As a bonus in the fall, there are golden colors in the trees and the ever-changing deep blue Lake Erie. However the chilly weather will soon turn colder.

As of Nov. 4, the group meets at 10 a.m. at Unity Spiritual Center, 23855 Detroit Road, Westlake on Monday, Wednesday and Friday until spring. The practice group has been led by Patricia Heinke for over 25 years; there is no charge and no membership application. Just come to enjoy exercise and a community of interest.

If one needs to further learn or improve their Tai Chi skills, there are classes through the Bay Village Senior Center. C. Michael Rhoades is the certified teacher who teaches the Simplified Short Form and the Wu Style Long Form; the emphasis is on practice for good health and wellness.
