Federation Square

People who are anxious about Friday the 13th are invited to calm down at a Tai Chi Birthday in Fed Square at 8.00am. Friday marks the 10th Birthday of free Tai Chi classes at Federation Square.

Tai Chi at Fed Square

To a slowed down version of Happy Birthday, Tai Chi Australia's Chief Instructor, Han Jin Song will conduct a special class before blowing out the candles and, in probably what is a world first, cutting the cake with the ceremonial sword.

The event will be broadcast on the Fed Square Big Screen.

Tai Chi, the ancient Chinese health exercise that balances the body and mind has been enjoyed free of charge by hundreds of inner city dwellers, passersby on their way to work and visitors to Melbourne from country Victoria, interstate and overseas.

In April 2013, Safe Work Australia released its first report on work-related mental stress and its associated costs based on an analysis of Australian workers' compensation claims data from 2008-09 to 2010-11, finding the loss of productivity and absence of workers is costing Australian businesses more than $10 billion per year.
