Presentation by The mind and body is always seeking balance, Rynearson explained, so part of Tai Chi is to push the individual off balance and train their muscles to fi nd balance in the stretching or new position. The class aims to meet each individual where they are and no one is encouraged to push beyond their abilities. Just reminding the body of where each muscle group is and how it works to help maintain strength and balance is effective in strengthening core and improving balance, Rynearson said. The classes are free and no registration is required. There is no age or condition re- quirement. Community Connection is locat- ed at 702 NW First Street, Enterprise. photographer Kendrick Moholt.
