Starting a New Practice: Beginning Tai Chi

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is upon us once again and many of us have some shopping to do. Do you have a friend or family member who is hard to shop for? Do you need a gift for someone who has everything? Maybe you are looking to expand your own horizons or longing for some some well deserved self-care in the new year. Well Tai Chi Revolution is here to help you! We are offering a new six week beginner class in the new year. If you’ve ever wondered about the practice of Tai Chi and its many benefits but didn’t know where to start or if you would enjoy it then this is the class to try. This class if for someone who has never done Tai Chi before, or for someone who wants to rejoin the practice of Tai Chi but needs a bit of a refresher. No experience is necessary. This class will cover the first 17 moves of the 108 move set. It’s a great way to dip your toe into the practice of Tai Chi and to begin to learn more about how your body and mind work together. It is known as a moving meditation and there is growing evidence that the regular practice of Tai Chi helps to maintain and improve strength, balance, and flexibility with the added benefit of calming your mind. Tai Chi is a slow motion low impact form of exercise where muscles are relaxed, joints are not fully extended, and each move can be modified and adapted to any physical limitations a person may have. You can begin learning this martial art in a supportive and friendly atmosphere in our studio setting. Plus… we are just a fun group of people and would love to meet you!
