Tai Chi Class Descriptions
Beginner Tai Chi • First section of the 103 Traditional Form • The 10 Essential Principles of Practice A student will be ready to move for the Beginner to the Intermediate class when the first sixteen postures of the form can be preformed independently and the student can name the 10 Essentials of practice. The student will learn the basic palm techniques and the basic stances in this class.
16 Movement Form • The 10 Essential Principles of Practice • Begin to integrate the 10 Essentials into practice • Learn the Yang Family Sixteen Movement Form This course will teach a complete 16 movement form. This course is designed for students who want to learn a complete form in a relatively short period of time, for Seniors, and for students looking for a mid-day Tai Chi refresher. All levels are welcome to attend this class. Students will learn the basics of footwork, palm shapes, and stances.
Tai Chi for Kids In this course, students will have fun while learning the basics of Tai Chi movement. A shortened form based on Traditional Yang Family Tai Chi will be learned. Classroom activities will include meditative and creative applications as well as movement. For ages 7 to 11 years.
Tai Chi Chih T’ai Chi Chih® is a gentle yet powerful moving meditation that circulates and balances the intrinsic life force, Chi. Chi is both Prana (vital energy) and Prajna (universal wisdom), and in cultivating and nurturing our Chi, we can create balance and harmony in our body/mind and in our lives. Practices such as T’ai Chi Chih® are recognized by doctors in the field of psychoneuroimmunology as “stress-intervention exercise.” When we relax, we commune with ourselves. In so doing, we align with the universal rhythm that flows through all things. In Kate’s practice and teaching experiences, she has seen that going beyond the mentally-clouding effects of stress with moving meditation can reveal an inner radiance that renews our outlook on life, connects us to our innate well-being, and engenders peace and joy. Namaste.
