Class Offering of Chi-Gong
The gentle but powerful Chinese movement exercise known as chi-gong [pronounced chee gong] is offered, beginning this May, for Capitol Hill Village members by Joni Bell. Joni, her-self a CHV member, has practiced this discipline for the past ten years. Her strength and balance have improved remarkably, and she credits the activity with helping her as a 30-year patient with multiple sclerosis. The twice-weekly classes last 30 to 40 minutes.
[OPEN TO MEMBERS ONLY]

Another gentle form of exercise for all ages, and especially use-ful to seniors. It promotes strength and balance, as well as deep breathing and relaxation. It has been described as ?moving meditation.? Under the direction of Dr. David Walls-Kaufman, tai chi is not difficult to learn, and can be performed at whatever physical level one brings to it.
