The Tai Chi Session - Adonis Trail Part #2!

PART #2 -ADONIS Nature Trail

.

THE PLATEAU:

After about two hours of walking we come to a plateau where the Nature Trail of Smigies connects with the Aphrodite Trail.

We come across a faucet and make a stop.
A cute little doggie has been following the group ever since they left the hotel. It seems exhausted by now but keeps following.

We approach the water but alas! It is not potable but at least we sprinkle some on our face and shoulders to freshen up.

A LONG STOP:

The ladies decide that we should make a stop for a snack but later on, they decide to extend the break. They don't wish to miss the day's lesson, so here I am watching them and taking a few pictures.

TAI CHI:

They start with some warm-up exercise, hold certain poses and remain motionless for a while

The Tai Chi session

All seem concentrated in this graceful slow moving exercise, and Heidi, one of the ladies that was not participating and was with me was telling me that it is another way to fight stress.

In brief, so that you know, Tai Chi is a type of martial art known for its defense techniques and health benefits which has positive effects on balance control, fitness and flexibility.
