Arlana Young

Tai Chi Program at Y Specialty Fitness

July 28, 2026

Arlana has been sharing the gift of Tai Chi with our community for many years. Long before joining what was then Fox Care Fitness, she was inspiring others through her teaching, and she has continued that passion as part of the Y Specialty Fitness family. Her enthusiasm for helping others improve their health and well-being is evident in every class she teaches.

Tai Chi offers something for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. While many people think of it as a gentle form of exercise, its benefits go far beyond movement. Participants develop better balance, stability, flexibility, and coordination—skills that become increasingly important as we age. Tai Chi has also been associated with improvements in memory, digestion, stress reduction, and overall wellness.

Perhaps one of the greatest benefits is the sense of community it creates. Many participants arrive feeling a little unsure or hesitant, but it doesn't take long before they're smiling, laughing, and building lasting friendships. Arlana's welcoming approach helps everyone feel comfortable, supported, and included from day one.

If you've been curious about trying Tai Chi, now is the perfect time to start. Level One classes return this September, making it an excellent opportunity for beginners to experience everything this program has to offer.
