Hampden-Tai Chi--Session 2
with Andy Stewart, Orono-Hampden-Old Town Adult Ed Partnership

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art practiced in many styles. The “sun” style, which is the form Andy Stewart will be offering, has been the subject of rigorous scientific studies that reveal its health benefits, including cardiovascular support, improved muscle strength and flexibility, and increased balance for fall prevention. The practice entails a fluid movement and flow produced through the integration of mind and body. It has in fact been called “meditation in motion” and that phrase probably captures the essence of the practice better than any other. It is about balance, both physical and mental.
Time: 12:00-12:45pm

with Angie Butler Welch, Orono-Hampden-Old Town Adult Ed Partnership

Chakra and Energy Balancing 101
Perhaps you know about Chakras, those little energy centers in your body that work to keep you physically and emotionally healthy… or maybe it’s all new to you and you’ve only heard the term and have limited knowledge about them. As a Pranic energy Healer and certified instructor, I want to help dispel the mysteries! In Chakra and Energy balancing 101, we’ll discuss just what these energy centers are, what their jobs are for your physical and emotional health, what happens when they’re not functioning at their optimal level and more importantly - we’ll do a ½ hour guided meditation to actually clear and balance those chakras out! 2 hour class
