Students benefit from our decades of experience, small class sizes and individualized attention.
You'll find our classes to be relaxed, friendly and welcoming.

Introduction to T'ai Chi Basics - This class focuses on movement exerises that are foundational to t'ai chi movement. The opening postures of the form will be introduced during the 12 week session. Ideal for beginning students or those who may struggle with mobility or balance issues. Easier to learn than the form itself, t'ai chi walks and Qigong exercises are a proven way to increase body awareness, improve mobility and increase stability and balance in movement.  
 

Beginner Form Class – New students will be introduced to the fundamental principles of T'ai chi as they progress through the opening postures of the form. In addition, chi gong and other exercises will be used to help students cultivate chi and develop better body integration. 

Continuing Form Class – Students continuing on with their study will receive form correction and refinement as well as the mechanics for the next series of postures.

Form Refinement and Sensing Hands – Students continue to work with the principles of T'ai chi as they refine postures through the development of deeper internal energetic connections. Partner work is practiced as a means of developing listening energy.

Sword  Form– T'ai chi Ch'uan postures and listening energy developed in sensing hands are the foundation to sword study. This class is by permission for more advanced students.
