Find Balance and Calm with New Tai Chi and Qigong Class

The Edgar Cayce Holistic Center, in Des Plaines, will offer a new weekly class, Tai Chi & Qigong, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday from November 6 through December 18 (excluding November 27). Designed for beginners, the in-person sessions will focus on cultivating balance, strength and mental clarity while relieving stress, building resilience and enhancing mood.

Instructor Matt Mallett, an avid runner and fitness enthusiast, will guide participants through tai chi warmups, energy-focused qigong techniques and reflective sharing. Participants are asked to bring their yoga mats.

“Through slow, mindful movements, you’ll improve your flexibility, mobility and overall body awareness while promoting inner calm,” says Mallett.

Cost: $90 for the six-week series, with a $20 drop-in option. Location: 259 E. Central Rd., Des Plaines. For more information or to register, visit HolisticCenterChicago.com.
