We offer classes for beginner to intermediate students in Yang Style 24 Form and Sun Style 73 Form. Yang style is the most popular form and is practiced world wide. It is a gentle and flowing style that is relatively easy to learn and practice. Sun Style is more recent, and is incorporates more Qi Gong or energy movements. It was developed specifically to increase health. Research shows that regular Tai Chi practice increases strength, flexibility and balance, and prevents falls. There are also improvements in blood pressure and cardio respiratory function. Tai Chi is often called a “Moving Meditation” and regular practice confers a serenity of spirit. Classes are designed for logical, sequential learning and are relaxed and fun. Tai Chi is appropriate for almost any age.
