The nonprofit Taoist Tai Chi Society of the United States is offering Beginner Taoist Tai Chi classes in Niceville at A Dance Studio. Meeting will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays, beginning April 2, and from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Thursdays, beginning April 3.

Taoist Tai Chi arts are founded upon a rich tradition of Taoist training and are intended to return both body and mind to their original nature. According to Taoist teachings, body and mind cannot be separated. Each step in the training is intended to help the mind return to stillness, clarity and wisdom, and the body to a balanced, relaxed and healthy state.

While there are many ways to participate in the training, most people begin with the physical practice, which includes a gentle set of movements that promote well-being for people of all ages and in all conditions.
