48 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | FEBRUARY 2021 |
Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
This is being written on Jan. 5 and it's anyone's guess what
2021 is going to look like in the next few months. By the time
you read this blurb, we (hopefully) will be playing another "Fun
Run." We had a good time with it in the fall and many people
asked that we continue it if regular competitive Bocce was out of
the question. And so that's what we're planning to do if enough
of our players check in with us. Competitive Bocce Ball is in
limbo for the time being — COVID-19 is in our community and
we all must be mindful of that — stay home, wear masks, and
abide by social distancing. Let's all hope for a happier New Year!
Friends of Bocce
Friday mornings, 9 am in the North Clubhouse. Cost is only $5 per
week (or $20 per month).
Tai Chi (Tie-Chee) is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today,
is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of
movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied
by deep breathing. Originally developed for self-defense, Tai Chi has
evolved into a graceful form of exercise that's now used for stress
reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described
as meditation in motion, Tai Chi promotes serenity through gentle,
flowing movements. The tradition of Tai Chi dates back to at least
the 15th century in China, and the practice is based on the belief that
balancing the opposite forces in the body (known as yin and yang)
will encourage the flow of chi (energy) through the body to promote
health. You may also find Tai Chi appealing because it's inexpensive
and requires no special equipment. Tai Chi can be done anywhere,
alone or in a group class. If you're looking for a way to reduce stress,
consider Tai Chi and join fellow Sun Lakers in developing strength in
balance, stamina, and flexibility. Info, Dee Coughtry, (951) 381-4919.
