About 50 people showed up to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Taoist Tai Chi being practised in the Warkworth and Wellsford area.
The event was held at the Warkworth Scout Hall.
Northern Branch Taoist Tai Chi Society president Anne Taylor says what was truly rewarding was to have a day where everybody contributes.
“Some brought food for morning tea, some demonstrated tai chi and some made drinks,” she says.
“After speeches about the history of the branch and the health benefits of tai chi, combined with a demonstration by our instructors, a cake was cut and enjoyed by all.”
She says the day was a fitting tribute to Master Moy Lin-shin, who founded the Taoist version of tai chi in Canada nearly 50 years ago to benefit people’s health.
Taoist Tai Chi is now practiced in 25 countries around the world.
The Northern Branch has just started new beginners’ classes in Warkworth and Wellsford. Anne says now is a good time to give tai chi a go.
