The art of tai chi is the practice of letting go of our resistance to change through dynamic relaxation, energy cultivation, conservation, and self-defense. This course will cover basic stretching and qi gong warm ups followed by a selection of beginning tai chi and qi gong postures. These basic postures will create a foundation for “the form” which is a series of martial art movements. You will also learn to reduce mental and physical stress, to become aware of and cultivate internal energy (chi), to consciously direct the flow of chi within your physical body, as well as connecting your mind and body in a meditative manner.
