HarborFit: Tai Chi at Castle Island

Start your Saturday morning at Castle Island with a free Tai Chi class overlooking Boston Harbor!

Tai Chi is meditation in motion. The slow moves help you coordinate your upper & lower body, and are great for balance, stress release, and reducing joint pain. Follow along as your instructor leads you in Yang Style Tai Chi. While this class is free, registration is required. Register now to start your weekends off right! Participants should bring a water bottle and sunscreen.

This is a recurring class:

  • Weekly on Saturdays
