Join Tai Chi & Yoga Winter Classes At South Coast Botanic Gardens!
Palos Verdes homes owners can start a healthy new year by joining in one of South Coast Botanic Garden’s winter sessions of Tai Chi or Yoga classes on Saturday mornings in January and February. Classes will be held at the Koi Pond Patio, giving Palos Verdes residents the opportunity to exercise in a natural setting instead of a studio environment. You will feel the peace and energy of the Gardens around you. The pace of these classes are appropriate for most individuals.

Tai Chi consists of graceful Chinese meditative movements that help to maintain physical health, well being and spiritual essence. This ancient Chinese technique emphasizes relaxation, balance coordination and agility, as well as flexibility and mental discipline. The cost of each class is $10/members and $12/non-members and drop-ins are allowed.

Each class will begin with gentle stretching and progress to deeper stretches and flow yoga. The instructor for the series is Nicole Fagone, E-RYT.
