Tai Chi for Beginners

Discover the gentle, flowing practice of Tai Chi in this beginner-friendly class. Learn simple movements that help you slow down, focus, and connect with your body.

We’ll start with basic Tai Chi footwork and stances. You’ll learn how to shift your weight, improve your balance, and move with greater control. We’ll also practice simple Qigong exercises to encourage mindful breathing and relaxed movement.

As you build confidence, you’ll explore foundational Tai Chi movements. Each movement combines gentle motion with focused breathing and awareness. We’ll also include meditation to help you quiet the mind and create a sense of calm.

This class welcomes beginners of all experience levels. Move at your own pace and enjoy a supportive environment as you learn the basics of this ancient practice.

Come ready to breathe, move, and discover a new way to support balance, focus, and relaxation.
