Tai chi
Yvonne and Doug Waines practising Thai Chi.
The Wine Country Tai Chi Society is launching the world’s first ‘Wine & Chi’ series on International Tai Chi Day, April 24, in BC’s Okanagan Valley. Experts will demonstrate the mesmerizing 108 Tai Chi moves against a spectacular backdrop of local wineries and vineyards. At some events the group will pull out their swords for an even more dramatic display.
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese form of movements and exercise. Each move has a unique name and character, just like wine, like “Grasp Birds Tail,” “Carry Tiger to Mountain,” or “Ward Off Monkeys.”
Events will take place April 24 at Off the Grid, May 12 at Grizzli Estate, June 19 at Ciao Bella, July 14 at Rollingdale, Aug. 29 at Kalala, and Sept. 19 at Mt. Boucherie.
