Advanced Tai Chi without San Shou
Price range: $200.00 through $215.00
Description
Practicing Tai Chi regularly helps reduce stress, improve balance and coordination, strengthen immune systems, and develop body awareness and confidence. This class is designed to tailor to students who have finished learning all 108 moves of the Tai Chi basic form. In each class, the tai Chi form will be further refined along with deep breathing exercises. Emphasis will be on practicing and doing the moves correctly and with fluidity. Each session will start with the Eight Pieces of Brocade Qigong as warm-up exercises, and then the teacher will lead the students to practice the entire Tai Chi form from beginning to end. The last 15 minutes will be dedicated to questions and corrections of the moves. Wear loose, comfortable clothes and soft-soled shoes, such as flat
sneakers.
Virginia Payne has been practicing the traditional Yang style Tai Chi long form since 1990, along with its complete suite of Tai Chi Push-Hands, Sanshou, Sword, and Saber.
