Tai Chi Classes
Tai chi (太极) is an ancient Chinese martial art that is practiced for health and self-defense purposes. It is a type of moving meditation in which breathing is coordinated with a series of fluid movements and postures. Different forms of tai chi incorporate different postures, and sometimes props such as swords or fans. Tai chi without props is called tai chi chuan (chuan means "fist"). Qi gong, which is often used as a warm-up for tai chi practice, consists of slow, gentle movements coordinated with breathing exercises to promote the flow of qi (the body's vital life force energy). Both tai chi and qi gong offer numerous benefits, including stress reduction, improved posture, increased mindfulness, and enhanced energy levels. Regular practice improves balance, flexibility, and strength while fostering relaxation and focus.
Tina currently offers classes in the simplified tai chi chuan 8-, 13-, 16-, and 24-forms, and the Yang style 42- and 48-forms. Mastery of any of these forms may take years, but persistence is the only requirement for learning tai chi. Thus, while the 8- and 24-form tai chi chuan are considered the most basic, students of all levels are welcome in all of Tina's classes.
