Tai Chi
In-Person Class | Available (Membership Required)
Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is practiced widely around the world and is renowned as a system of training that 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). The Tai Chi form known as "Tai Chi 24" will be taught form by form. The instructor will explain basic yet very important principles e.g., rooting, sung (relaxation) and six directions.
