This class will focus learning the Cheng Man-Ching’s 37 Tai Chi short form, one of the most popular tai chi forms in the West. The class is appropriate for students with some experience with qigong/tai chi.
Tai chi is a Chinese martial art that employs slow intentional movements, coordinated with breathing and imagery, to strengthen and relax the physical body and mind. It enhances and balances the flow of internal energy (qi), resulting in improved health, personal development, and self-defense.
Not just for the fit and able-bodied, tai chi is also famous for its healing applications. Medical research suggests tai chi may have therapeutic benefits for:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Balance disorders
- Low bone density
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Stress
- Attention deficit disorders
- Sleep disorders
- Depression
The class introduces students to Cheng Man-Ching’s 37-Movement Short Form, one of the most popular tai chi forms in the West. Emphasis is placed on proper structural alignment, relaxed and mindful movement, and efficient breathing.
Registration reflects $16 per class.
