Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is practiced widely around the world and is renowned as a system of training which

enhances health, balance, and well-being through a series of postures that are practiced slowly and with

attention to alignment and relaxed movement. While many of the concepts go back to ancient times, the first complete forms are credited to the Chen Village in China, from the 1700s. This intermediate class will offer deeper insights and training of the 24 movement Yang Tai Chi form, as well as more detail on the meditative and martial aspects of the system. At the instructor’s request, students must have taken at least three sessions of OLLI’s Tai Chi course before signing up for Intermediate Tai Chi. Any exceptions must have instructor's permission.
