EARLY SPRING SESSION STARTS MARCH 2
Our Spring Session begins Monday, March 2nd, with 21 different courses and more than 35 classes each week, ranging from our entry level programs (Tai Chi 101 and Tai Chi for Healthy Aging and Better Balance) to traditional Wu and Yang style Forms and Qigong sets, Chinese Self-Healing Exercises, Awakening The Dragon, and Pushing Hands. Register early to reserve your space!  

NEW CLASS: Introduction To Wu Style Short Form
The Wu style of Tai Chi is known for being physically easy to do but imbued with essential Tai Chi body alignments and internal energy. The Wu Short Form takes only 4-5 minutes to perform and can be done anywhere. This form is taught in three 7-week sessions. We will learn to release tension from arms and shoulders, align knees and feet to support the body naturally, and move smoothly and consciously. Open to all levels.

AND: By popular demand, two of our recently-added classes, Rooting (Gen Gong) and Eight Essential Moves, will now be held twice a week, Monday and Wednesday evenings. Twice the Chi!

Hua (Transformation)

Stand, Release, Breathe, Shed, Un-do
Let your Tears fall into the Earth beneath your Feet
Let your Tribulations Sink and become your Root.

Where Fear has been Dissolved, Laughter Blooms.
What you Thought was Weakness will Become your Strength.
After Down, After Inward,
                                                            Something Rises.
