TAI CHI BASICS – 8 FOUNDATION NEIGONG

Tai Chi is an internal Chinese martial art that consists of slow, continuous movement coordinated with mindfulness and balanced breathing. Sometimes referred to as “meditation in motion,” it is a form of exercise that teaches us to move from our center using proper alignment and posture and is an effective means of developing and maintaining a healthy mind and body. When practiced consistently over time, Tai Chi:
• Increases flexibility and strength
• Significantly develops balance
• Relieves stress and improves mental well-being

During this 4-week class, you will be introduced to the key principles of Tai Chi and learn 8 essential Tai Chi movements that create the founda- tion for practicing the older, traditional styles of Tai Chi forms. This program will prepare you for all Secret Yang Tai Chi Chuan programs.
