The 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. No previous experience is necessary. Wear comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes. Masks may be required. Exclusions apply for pregnant women and those with severe arthritis in the knees.
The intermediate class is for those participants who have had 6 months of exposure to the beginner level material.
Instructor – Paul Cote
Paul has spent the past 35 years teaching and exploring T’ai Chi in connection with improved body management and as a holistic health practice. He is currently teaching Tai Chi at Hagerstown Community College
