Learn a complete tai chi form for health and longevity that you can do anywhere and that is adaptable for all ages, body types, and abilities. No previous experience is necessary. Reduce pain and stress, improve balance, gain focus/concentration, find comfortable ways to move, and gain benefits from a 3,000-year-old Chinese movement form, tai chi. When students finish the six-week course, they will have three tools for dealing with change, transition, and life in general. Students will have the tai chi 17 form including movements from a Yang Short Form, so they will be prepared to study further if they wish. Students will have learned a sequence called Finished the Form, which they can use alone as a practice or as a warmup or cool-down for other practices. A basic knowledge of tai chi/martial arts and how to promote health and mind/body awareness will be obtained. Each time students take this previously offered course a deeper understanding of this lifelong practice is gained.
