Tai Chi - CMC Yang Style - Beginning

Tai chi is an ancient, life-sustaining martial art. It is also a slow-motion, low impact, meditative form of exercise that benefits many aspects of your physical and mental health. It is said to strengthen bones, lower blood pressure, improve balance and relieve stress. Tai chi can be practiced almost anywhere and requires no special equipment beyond a pair of very flat-soled shoes. In the beginning class, you will learn the five primary principles of tai chi, and begin to learn the 37 postures of Cheng Man Ch'ing's Short Form. It is preferable to be able to stand and move independently for an hour to be comfortable in this class. It's fun, and we laugh a lot!
