Art + Wellness: Tai Chi
Tuesdays, March 18–April 22 | 1–2 pm
Included with admission fee
Free for Members and U of U students, staff, and faculty

This Tuesday visit the UMFA for an Art + Wellness session led by Tai Chi instructor Mike Farfel. Each class will teach you new postures and how to integrate them together, moving seamlessly from one movement to the next in a beautiful form of moving meditation. Learn more about the UMFA permanent collection as you discover how to relax, strengthen, and cultivate mobility in the body using tai chi. There will be six sessions in all, and guests are welcome to attend as many as they would like.

Mike Farfel is a lifetime martial artist. Throughout his life, he’s found moments of calm in Muay Thai gyms and Karate dojos. As a young man, he received black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Gen-Jitsu. He is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and currently trains with the wonderful Combat Arts team in downtown Salt Lake. Tai Chi has always been a part of his practice and helps supplement everything he does—martial or otherwise.
