​QIGONG (Chi Kung)
​Literally, the study and practice of energy development, Qigong claims similar benefits as Tai Chi. The movements are somewhat less complicated than Tai Chi, and some of the training takes place while the participants are standing still (sometimes known as Standing Meditation). Many students enjoy practicing Qigong as a supplement to their Tai Chi training.

Weather-permitting, these classes will be held outside. Meet at the studio first!

Tai Chi Fan is a mind/body wellness practice that uses a special fan in conjunction with some Tai Chi and Kung Fu postures. The postures have names that help the practitioner understand the expression of energy in each movement.  A few examples of these are:

--Hold The Moon In Both Arms

--Turn Around And Fan Strikes Down

--Willow Branch In The Wind

Because the names of the movements correspond with body postures, the Tai Chi Fan practice is a potent mind/body system, suitable for all levels.
