The Introductory Class is an opportunity for the interested beginning student to get a cursory exposure to several aspects of a Tai Chi practice: standing meditation, Qigong, specific stretching, balance and breathing techniques, the Tai Chi Form (moving sequence of postures), and some basic philosophy. You would derive great benefit from simply continuing with these introductory practices alone, but the primary purpose is to give you an opportunity to see if our teaching content, methods and goals resonate with your interest, and for you to assess if you feel drawn to the greater commitment of a fuller 14 or 20-week session. The Introductory Class is limited to 15 participants. It lasts two hours and costs $25. The next class will be on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 9:00-11:00.
