Weekly Tai Chi Classes
Wesley Grant Community Center - Form PRactice (huang xing xian - yang 37)
Thursday mornings - 9:00 AM
This is the primary class to attend if you are interested in learning the form or if you are a beginner. I am teaching the yang short form (the Cheng Man Ching yang 37) as it was taught by master Huang Xing Xian. This practice is challenging but rewarding; the work is slow and mentally demanding. This kind of practice greatly strengthens the body and the mind; in particular taiji practice develops the legs and back, strengthening the knees, hips, and spine. We practice in the Wesley Grant Community Center in the River Arts District, outside if the weather is nice, and inside in the auditorium otherwise.
Dragon Phoenix - Foundations and Partner Practice
Sunday evenings at 5:30
This class is foundational taiji partner practice; we work on developing the energetic bridge and learning how to sense and connect to another person through an energetic framework. The class is appropriate for all ages and skill levels. Beginners are welcome. I recommend this class for anyone who does energy work, massage, wrestling or grappling; the class is helpful for anyone interested in developing a deeper capacity to sense energy in their own body and in another’s.
