There has been a consistent group of tennis enthusiasts at Desert Breezes for many years.

During the season (October through June), they add Sunday mornings, and play from 7:30am to 9:30am.

Tai Chi was first offered in Desert Breezes during the Covid shutdown of tennis and the gym. It was a popular choice for an older crowd, not physically taxing but meant to improve balance and stability.
Coachella Valley offers a few choices for Tai Chi including Sunnylands every Saturday and the Joslyn Center three days a week. These are good programs and the Joslyn Center classes are geared towards older adults.
What sets Desert Breezes Tai Chi apart is:
- It’s completely free
- No need to travel, we’re already here
- It is progressive. You can move from the simple movements to more advanced forms.

A message from our departing Board Members: Jill Callahan Knoff & Ian Delaroche.
A message from our departing Board Members:
It’s been a privilege and honor to serve the community as a board member alongside our colleagues on this and last year’s board. They have all served selflessly. We learned a lot! One of the most important things we learned is what serving means and how everyone plays a role. Here are ways we can ALL serve beyond the obvious volunteering for the board or a committee. Here’s our top ten list:
- Be kind – it multiplies and comes back to you
- Give Grace – no one is perfect, we are all doing our best
- Listen with an open mind
- Respect one another – even when you disagree
- Educate yourself from reliable resources– assuming only adds to confusion and misinformation
- Comply with the rules
- Be flexible and adaptable; change is constant
- Lift one another up
- Offer solutions – not demands
- Focus on the positive – it’s contagious!
In conclusion, we are better together when we serve one another. How will you serve?
March, 2023 – Jill Callahan Knoff & Ian Delaroche
