Mary Newbill, tai chi instructor

Wikipedia explains Tai chi as "an internal Chinese martial art practiced for self-defense and health. 

"Known for its slow, intentional movements, tai chi has practitioners worldwide and is particularly popular as a form of gentle exercise and moving meditation, with benefits to mental and physical health."

The Shoreline Senior Activity Center offers three classes: beginning, continuing, and "playful"

Tai Chi Players 

We are excited to announce that we’re bringing back Tai Chi Players, taught by Mary Newbill. This is a playful class, where you can enjoy the movement of Tai Chi with no need to memorize a form.
