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 simple introductory practices alone, but the primary purpose is to give you an opportunity to meet me, to see if you feel I would be a good teacher for you and if my approach resonates with your interest, and for you to assess if you feel drawn to the greater commitment of the full 20-week session. It lasts two hours and costs $25. The next one will be held in downtown Santa Cruz on Saturday morning, August 24, from 9:30-11:30. If you wish to enroll simply respond via the contact page and I will send you further registration details.
