What to Expect in Class
Each class begins with warmup exercises and a breathing and stretching set (Emei qigong) to prepare your body and mind. From there, we guide you step by step through the traditional Yang Style Tai Chi empty-hand and weapons forms. We teach each movement at a mindful pace, helping you build confidence and experience the benefits as you go.
Throughout the class, we emphasize correct technique with a focus on long-term growth. Instead of simply having you show up to class and mindlessly follow the leader, we teach the forms in a way that helps you truly learn and remember them. Our goal is to equip you with the tools to practice Tai Chi safely and confidently—both during class and on your own—for years to come.
You can expect clear instruction, steady pacing, and a welcoming community of people learning together. Many students say class is the highlight of their week—not just for the practice itself, but for how it makes them feel afterward.
Our Teaching Approach
We believe that Tai Chi should be both meaningful and enjoyable. That’s why we teach with attention to detail and deep respect for tradition, while keeping our classes relaxed and welcoming. We create space for you to ask questions, explore the practice, and enjoy the journey at your own pace.
We also take a “learn by layers” approach. With so many details in every Tai Chi move, we guide you step by step—introducing techniques gradually and refining them over time—so you’re not overwhelmed from the start.
