Hello to all our members and people who may just be stopping by here to check us out! I hope all of you are finding ways to make the best of things during these difficult and anxiety provoking times. We miss seeing all of our members at classes and hope that we will be able to resume them sometime in the near future. In the meantime, we wanted to share a some thoughts from Justin Landers at Slanted Flying on the importance of mastering the many details of our Tia Chi form. We hope you enjoy this article! We’ll be looking for more interesting Tai Chi related content to share with you over the next few weeks. In the meantime we hope that everyone stays healthy and we look forward to seeing you all back at the studio (or at the park!!) in the near future!

Jump Start 2020 with a New Tai Chi Class!
Yikes! It’s happening! 2019 is rapidly coming to a close and a new year is almost upon us. For me, the start of a new year brings an opportunity to refocus on my own health and well-being and bringing balance back into my life. That’s something that I often struggle with and Tai Chi has become an integral part of helping me maintain that mind – body balance.
Here at Tai Chi Revolution we’d like to invite you to join us for a new six week class (class details below). This “beginner’s class” is designed to give students a foundation in Tai Chi movement principles, basic concepts and techniques, and the health benefits of regular practice. This class is for people who have no prior experience with Tai Chi or who have practiced Tai Chi but have been away from it and would like to get back into it. This class is conducted in a safe, friendly, and supportive environment where everyone is welcome.
Our practice of Tai Chi is focused on the mind/body interaction and integrating slow, intentional movements to help strengthen, relax, coordinate and integrate the physical body and mind to improve overall health. Regular practice of Tai chi can improve balance control, fitness, and flexibility, and may offer the benefits of reducing the risk of falls. It is safe for people of all ages, as it does not put too much stress on the muscles and joints. We hope to see you at our studio!

Tai Chi Revolution Volunteers at the Samaritan Center
“There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” John Andrew Holmes-author.
I think this quote says it better than I could…I will simply add a big thank you to Ros and all of the Tai Chi Revolution practitioners who took the time to volunteer at the Samaritan Center! You help to make the community strong!
Tai Chi Revolution Supports Our Community
In our studio, the members of Tai Chi Revolution collected and donated 58 pounds of food to the Food Bank in January. The Food Bank of Central New York provides more than 12 million meals each year to our hungry neighbors in central and northern New York. If you can, please consider supporting this great organization!
Thank you to our members for your generosity!
Benefits of Regular Practice of Tai Chi
When I started practicing Tai Chi I wanted to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible. I had a difficult time hearing my instructor’s advice to just immerse myself in the moment and not worry about every tiny detail. Over time, I found that my instructor was right <LOL>. The goal of learning the many forms in the set was not to just “learn” the set, but to use what I was learning about each form to understand how my body moved in response to my “internal” commands. I began to realize how watching my angles, shifting my weight, and paying attention to my body’s strengths and limitations allowed me to focus my attention more on fundamentals. That in turn has helped me to better understand and master the flow of body movements used in Tai Chi and to find the benefits of this “moving meditation”.
If you want to learn more about the importance of consistency in the practice of Tai Chi you may find this article from SlantedFlying.com helpful.
If you are interested in learning Tai Chi or want to get back into the practice, please feel free to e-mail us at TaiChiRevolutionCNY@gmail.com. Check back soon – we will be posting the start date for a new beginners class soon! We look forward to seeing you in the studio!
