Yang Style Tai Chi for Beginners

Meditation in motion. Great for balance, stress release and reducing joint pain. Slow moves help you coordinate your upper & lower body. We will focus on the health benefits, but applications  will be explained in the class to help you better understand the depth of the movements.

Ba Gua Circle Walking

If you like to walk as an exercise but hesitated to do it in the winter time outside because of the ice, snow and wind, Baguazhang Walking is a unique way to do the walking inside your home. It has a unique way of circular walking, where the practitioner trains to step easily but rooted and powerfully – around a circle, walking at the Eight Trigrams. The energy used in Baguazhang is almost purely horizontal , but as soon as the body movements start to change posture, it also encompasses the vertical power , while training your flexibility and fluidness to move.
