Join staff from veteran-owned Dao Concepts for a series created exclusively for Military Veterans and family members to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle! This series takes place outdoors and promotes overall wellness through the practice of Yang Style Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese art that blends exercise with stress reduction. Each week will include a warmup, followed by low-impact Tai Chi movements necessary to learn the 16 Step Yang Style Form. This series is a unique opportunity to focus on both the body and mind, as you are outdoors surrounded by both art and nature. No experience needed. Admission to GFS is included, so feel free to enjoy the grounds!

Instructor: Tony Jackson graduated from the United States Military Academy (West Point) in 1989 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and served as a 1st Lieutenant, Airborne Ranger Infantryman with the US Army, then transitioned to his corporate career with Nestle, The Dial Corporation, Roche Pharmaceuticals, and AmerisourceBergen. Today, through his business Dao Concepts, Tony teaches Tai Chi to adults and Kung Fu to kids full-time.
