Tai Chi Gung at Bayfront Park
Thanks for contacting us!
We'll get in touch with you as soon as possible.
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.

He earned his stripes on Broadway . . . now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Sarasota!
It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, Beetlejuice is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!
DISCLAIMER: Recommended for ages 13+. Contains strong language, mature references, and a lot of the crazy, inappropriate stuff you would expect from a deranged demon.
