Adult Program
Tai Chi
A moving meditation and one of the oldest therapeutic exercises in the world. We offer self-paced classes open to all ages.
About the curriculum
Tai Chi is a moving meditation that emphasized slow motion, relaxation, balance, and stress management. We teach the Yang style of Tai Chi & Qigong, including the 108, partner, 24, push hands, bo form, partner bo, & sword forms.
We not only teach the physical movements of the art, but the deeper philosophical and internal benefits of the practice: breathing exercises, discipline over your mind, stress reduction, and control and manipulation over the chi are the primary focuses of the classes.
Our main objective is personal and spiritual growth, using the philosophy and path of martial arts to help us strengthen our mind, body and spirit for the battle within.
Differences from other programs
Most Tai Chi programs are taught out of community centers, rec centers, or college campuses. These programs usually allow you to come once per week and follow along with the group.
The problem with this type of study is that everyone has a different learning pace. Some people catch on very quickly and end up getting bored and quitting. Others feel everyone in the class understands it but them, and missing even one week puts them even further behind. Over 95% of the people who start these type of programs quit without ever learning the art.
Our approach is self paced, rather than group paced learning. We offer many classes a week and have designed a program where students learn at their pace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Isn’t this for old people?
Tai Chi is for everyone and we have students of all ages. The practice can be particularly helpful with balance and, while falling is particularly dangerous with age, no one is immune. It has many benefits for students of any age and the best time to start any practice is today.
Does Tai Chi have real martial application?
There are martial techniques embedded throughout our practice, but this is not a self-defense class by any means. It is a moving meditation that focuses on the breath and mindfulness.
Do you teach Tai Chi weapons?
Yes. Our advanced students are allowed the opportunity to study ancient weapon forms after years of practice.
