Tai Chi
Course Overview
Looking for a fun and low-impact way to improve your overall health and wellness?
Tai Chi and Qi gong are ancient Chinese exercises that offer a wealth of benefits for the mind and body, including improved circulation, metabolism, balance, flexibility, posture, mental focus, immune function, daily energy levels, organ function, emotional balance, self-awareness, and brain health.
At our Tai Chi and Qi Gong course, you'll learn the fundamentals of these practices from Angela Tian, our highly experienced instructor. Each class will involve slow, circular movements, mental concentration, breath control, relaxation, and meditation, all designed to help you build your internal energy and improve your overall health.
Over the course of eight weeks, you'll learn theories of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, warm-up movements, and a series of new Tai Chi movements that you can practice on your own. You'll also have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive guidance from Angela.
