What to Expect:
Week 1: Introduction to Tai Chi fundamentals, including basic stances, postures, and movements. Learn the principles of alignment and flow. Week 2: Build on stances and postures from week 1, and begin integrating breath and movement. Week 3: Begin stringing together postures into sequences and refine your technique. Week 4: Combine postures, breath, and meditation into a flowing sequence. Emphasis on mindfulness and application of Tai Chi principles in daily life.
