Get centered with this beautiful martial art.
Our Tai Chi program is designed to give insight into a unique form of "moving meditation." Tai Chi works with energy, balance and leverage in a slow moving approach to power.
Our class meets once a week, and emphasizes three aspects of Tai Chi:
• Its physical health benefits, as it builds balance, stability, and "chi" (qi).
• Its meditative and centering aspect.
• Its martial arts application which is highly effective in a self-defense context
Tai Chi relies on the use of energy and body mechanics to control an opponent, as opposed to sheer power and strength. For this reason, Tai Chi is gentle in its practice, though its applications can be lethal. Many people practice Tai Chi as a meditative exercise, thanks to the awareness it requires to coordinate and center body and mind. Tai Chi is low impact; and anyone can practice, no matter what age or condition.
