Tai Chi & Qigong

Tai Chi is an internal Chinese martial art, practiced for the added benefits of improving health and longevity. Qigong is a general term used to describe various exercises of physical and mental training for health, martial arts, and self-enlightenment.

 

Tai Chi is the ability to relax into the opposing force; the capacity to truly listen.
Learning Tai Chi is not a means to an end, but rather an everlasting process of self-study.
The more you practice surrender, the more subtle resistance surfaces you still need to let go.
Real mastery of Tai Chi is not in the studio or in a fistfight confrontation, it is in the way one handles life.

 

No previous experience is required. Classes include practice of the basic fundamental moves, Yang form (short), Qigong, meditative and breathing techniques, as well as the philosophy behind the practice (Dao and I-Ching).

 

Class Notes:
