SUMMARY:Solo Agers Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:Online registration for this event is now closed. Please call 773.248.8700 if you would like to register. \nPlease join us at our Solo Agers Meet Up at Belmont Village (700 W Fullerton). Our group’s focus during this event will be about forming connections with others in the group to help support one another.

This is encouraged but optional for all attending. \nFor those that have not attended previous Solo Agers’ events\, “Solo Agers” refers to people who are making decisions independently or who have a limited support system. This may include a number of different situations\, and all are welcome at these events. The group intends to convene routinely to get to know one another\, as well as to coordinate and attend expert sessions such as legal or informational etc. that apply to our specific situations. \nWe will have light hors d’oeuvres\, beverages and plenty of time to get to know one another. Hope to see you there! \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Tai Chi
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held virtually via Zoom. \nTai Chi is a healing martial art characterized by slow\, flowing movements that emphasize balance\, flexibility\, and coordination. It involves a series of gentle\, continuous movements that engage the entire body\, promoting strength and stability while calming the mind. Tai Chi is often described as “meditation in motion” due to its emphasis on mindful movement and breath. Benefits of Tai Chi: \n1. Strength and Flexibility: Builds muscle strength\, increases flexibility\, and enhances mobility through slow\, deliberate movements. \n2. Balance and Coordination: Improves body coordination and balance\, reducing the risk of falls. \n3. Stress Relief: Calms the mind and relieves stress by focusing on controlled\, meditative movements. \n4. Mind-Body Connection: Strengthens awareness of the body and its movements\, promoting mindfulness. \n5. Mood and Energy Boost: Releases tension\, elevates mood\, and increases energy flow. \n6. Joint Health and Circulation: Enhances circulation and supports healthy joints\, easing stiffness and discomfort. \nQigong techniques in the Body & Brain class help amplify these benefits by focusing on energy flow (Qi)\, fostering both physical and mental well-being. \nAbout the Instructor: Julia Chung\, PhD\, PCC\, is a professional certified coach with the International Coach Federation (ICF)\, Sedona Health Coaching\, and the ADD Coach Academy. Currently\, she is the center manager and head instructor at the Body & Brain Center in Mt. Prospect\, IL. Before devoting her life to coaching and holistic healing\, she worked as a statistician in corporate America for over 10 years. Julia is passionate about sharing mindfulness with people in corporations who feel the need to reconnect with themselves to create a more purposeful work and personal life.
