City Of Pinellas Park, Fl issued the following announcement on Aug. 28.

The Pinellas Park Senior Center (7625 59th St. N.) offers classes on Tai Chi on Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings from 9:00am-9:55am. Hope to see you there!

A low-impact, relaxing form of exercise, Tai Chi is an extremely effective exercise for both the mind and body. Many seniors are unsteady on their feet and have an extreme fear of falling and Tai Chi can make them feel stronger and more stable—taking away that fear and adding to their personal sense of well-being. "Meditation in motion" is a phrase that's often used to describe tai chi and it has many benefits for seniors, including:

• Improves balance, helping to reduce falls; also strengthens muscles in the legs and increases flexibility and stability in the ankles

• Improves core strength to enhance stability and reduce back pain

• Improves cognitive functions and memory

• Reduces depression, anxiety and other emotional or mental health conditions
