Since 2002, Yao Wah Chan, Tai Chi master and Jian Yang Rong have been offering Tai Chi and Qi Gong classes to the residents of Greenburgh. Over the years, students have found the these classes to be very helpful for their health, stress reduction, concentration and balance. Today, Qi Gong and Tai Chi classes are part of the Town of Greenburgh’s Recreation Programs and held on Saturday mornings at 8:30 am in the Multipurpose Center in Anthony F. Veteran Park. Saturdays have become an important day for Westchester residents to rejuvenate their minds, bodies and spirits.
These programs have been profiled in major publications: in the April, 2011 issue of Westchester Health & Life Magazine and in the Scarsdale Inquirer in September, 2008.
Since 2016, We have been invited to teach Qi Gong and Tai Chi at different libraries in Westchester, NY.
Please see the offerings page for our latest listing, and browse the website to learn more about the programs. Please call or email if you have any questions.
