Description

T’ai Chi is an ancient Chinese exercise that combines relaxed, flowing movement with a calm, alert mental state. Often referred to as moving meditation, t’ai chi builds endurance and aids flexibility, balance and coordination. T’ai Chi evolved from a martial arts form to a practice for cultivating health, energy and concentration. Classes will work progressively through the Cheng-Man Ch’ing (Yang) style form of 37 postures, applying its basic principles. T’ai chi develops body awareness that can apply to our day-to-day activities. Beginning students will learn and practice the fundamental movements and principles of t’ai chi with an emphasis on developing ease and comfort in posture and movement.
