Beginning T’ai Chi
This beginning course in T’ai Chi is designed especially for the novice, of any age, who wishes to learn a simplified version of this profound art form. The art of T’ai Chi is taught as a holistic exercise that promotes health, improves balance, and enhances mind-body awareness. Step-by-step instruction is provided in an easy-to-learn format of less than 20 movements. The movements of T’ai Chi are performed slowly and relaxed with concentration and control. No previous experience is necessary. Wear comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes. Masks will be optional, depending on COVID rates in Washington County. Exclusions apply for pregnant women and those with severe arthritis in the knees.
