T’ai Chi
T’ai Chi is an ancient martial art that uses slow, flowing movement and postures to increase balance, strength, focus, energy, and grounding. Based on simple but challenging principles of movement, it lifts the spirit and calms the mind. T’ai Chi is not just exercise. It is frequently described as ‘meditation in motion’ and is a way to move through life.
A Specialty Class at Body Moves, T’ai Chi is a progressive movement practice. As students progress through the 37-posture short form, Cheng Man-Ching style, new postures are introduced. Students build upon the short form postures while continuing to practice the basic principles. Upon completion of the form, students continue to make adjustments, implement basic principles, and practice form correction.
Classes for students who know the full form are on Mondays and Thursdays at 5:30 pm. The Beginning T’ai Chi class meets on Mondays at 6:30 pm. Classes are 55 minutes in length. Students can choose to attend one or two classes per week.
