Tai Chi Tuesdays

Tai Chi is an art form known for its slow and gentle movement.

By exercising the mind, body and soul, Tai Chi helps promote overall health and relaxation, leaving participants feeling rejuvenated.

Among those reaping the benefits of this ancient Chinese martial art are participants in weekly classes held at the Braybrook Community Hub in Maribyrnong.

The morning Tai Chi classes cater to a range of experience levels and are free of charge, though bookings are essential.

Those thinking of coming along are advised to wear comfortable clothing and shoes and to bring a bottle of water with them.

While it might appear slow and graceful, doing Tai Chi can still be thirsty work.

On the morning of Monday, May 12, Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski went along to the Braybrook Community Hub on Churchill Avenue to capture a Tai Chi class in all its slow moving, graceful glory.
