Open to the public.
Some call it a form of moving meditation. When an individual focuses
the mind solely on the movements and form, it brings about a state of
mental calm and clarity. Besides general health benefits and stress
management, Taiji is a great way to center yourself.

The Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences is offering
introductory lessons in Taiji and Qi Gong. Our instructors focus on
basic movements that help develop whole body awareness and connection.
You’ll learn relatively simple exercises, motions that highlight key
Taiji principles and that lay the foundations for a lifelong vitality-
enhancing experience. Taught in a friendly, supportive environment,
the class is perfect for day to day stress! It includes a 5 element Qi
Gong set, a Taiji sequence, meditation, and lots of fun exploratory
movement.
