Tai Chi Chuan

Though considered a martial art, tai chi is more about movement: The practice consists of a series of deep-breathing exercises and gentle circular movements based on images found in nature. The point is to gather energy, then let it flow. In addition to spiritual wellness, the physical benefits include increased flexibility and balance, and maybe even a better night’s sleep. And the setting—Wave Hill’s lush gardens—may help inspire a Zen state. Beginners' classes start at 10am, followed by an intermediate class at 11am.
