Tai Chi Gung is a simple yoga, passed down through an unbroken lineage of master to student for over 3,000 years. This sacred art combines meditative movements with gentle breathing to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Through Tai Chi Gung, we learn to directly connect to the energy that flows within and around our physical and metaphysical body, aligning spirit, mind, and body.
These gentle yet powerful exercises release stress, enhance energy flow, and cultivate a deep sense of peace, offering a transformative path to balance and renewal.
✨This is a free weekly introductory class open to all levels.
We meet on the lawn behind Marina Jacks. (The island portion of the park)
Class runs for 30-45 minutes
🕉️Donations are welcome and appreciated.

Florida - the Capitol of Vitamin C!
Famous for its stunning weather, white sand beaches, and beautiful clear springs, Florida is known as a sunny paradise. It is actually known as one of the most-visited destinations in the world, and we are here to help you plan the most perfect vacation.
Also known as the Sunshine State, Florida beaches are home to 80% of loggerhead turtles in the United States, so be aware of turtle nesting season which runs from June until September! And if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll even be around to see some of these sweet infant turtles hatch and make their way to the shoreline.
Florida got the nickname “Sunshine State” in 1970 due to its year-round warm climate. The average temperature ranges from 65 to 77 degrees. Other than being called the Sunshine State for its’ sunny weather, Florida actually got its name from Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, who named it “La Florida”, which means “land of flowers”.
Florida is also the only state that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. In this case, wherever you are in Florida, you’re never more than 60 miles away from a beach! Talk about a dreamy destination spot.
Small-town charm and big-city experiences - all wrapped up in Florida. Enjoy beaches, a spring break extravaganza, a summer you won't forget, or just come and see what all the Florida fuss is about!
