Green Valley village tai chi/qi gong day 2013
We started things off by warming up together.
We had a great morning of Tai Chi and Qi Gong on Saturday(3-23-13) in the Centre Court of Green Valley Village. This was our third annual event open to the public.
We celebrated World Tai Chi Day here in Green Valley a month early so that the snowbirds could participate.
