Students benefit from our decades of experience, small class sizes and
individualized attention.
You'll find our classes to be relaxed, friendly and welcoming.
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.
NEW CLASS! Beginning in
May
'Introduction to T'ai Chi Basics' - This T'ai Chi Basics class will introduce the fundamental principles of
t'ai chi through movement exercises that are easier to learn than the form itself. These exercises can serve as a practice unto themselves or as a precursor to study of the Short Yang Form that we
teach. Done correctly, T'ai chi walks and Qigong exercises are a proven way to increase body awareness, improve mobility and increase stability and balance in movement.
