Tai Chi: Intro To Sun Style With Matcha Led By Autumn Hayes. 25/26 July 10am

Ο Ελληνικός Πολυχώρος, the new centre for community in Downtown Athens is pleased to be opening on the weekend of 25/26 July with an all levels welcome to Tai Chi: Intro to Sun Style led by the fantastic Autumn Hayes.

Tai Chi is a low-impact, mind-body practice combining slow, deliberate movements with deep breathing and meditation. It dramatically improves balance and flexibility, reduces stress and helps to alleviate chronic pain, all without overexerting the body or joints.

Often referred to as "meditation in motion," the mindfulness required helps quiet the mind, lower cortisol levels, and improve overall mood. You will leave the session feeling better, taller and energised.

Regular practice is proven to help regulate and lower blood pressure and research suggests that this moving meditation can boost cognitive capacity and memory, making it an excellent exercise for aging minds.

To welcome in the opening of our new community centre we are including a complimentary drink of Matcha from Sato Tokyo Matcha, the first authentic Japanese owned matcha brand to exist in Greece.
