This group will be practicing Part 2 of the 24 form. Various Health Qigong practice will also be practiced.
This refreshing after-work class will practice together to finish the 24 form, one of the most widely practiced Tai Chi forms in the world. Participants will join in, release the day, move with intention, and complete the form this session.
In this class we’ll be exploring Part 2 of 3 in the 42 form. It will continue to weave through the grace of Yang, Chen, Sun and Wu Styles Tai Chi, along with skills of leg kicks and fajin (power moves).
The 108 Traditional Yang Style Tai Chi will continue to practice Sections 1-3, along with Sections 4 and 5 starting soon. This class offers a rich and rewarding journey into the flowing movement, balance, kicks, memory, focus, and the deeper rhythm of moving meditation.
This ongoing class in the 42 form is being taught a beautifully choreographed routine whose highlights include four different styles of Tai Chi, kicks, fajin (power), balance and postures. In addition, all students are learning Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang.
This unique 1.5-hour Tai Chi Fusion class brings together the 26 form plus Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang, making this an exceptional blend of tai chi and health qigong movements.
The 26 form is a creative blend of Yang, Chen, Sun and Wu Styles created by Grand Master Shou-Yu Liang. In addition, returning students will practice Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang, a qigong practice that incorporates a stick for balance, breath and whole-body connection. It’s a brain twister!
With this Health Qigong class you’ll start your weekend feeling grounded, refreshed and alive with our Winter into Spring session – a program that energizes the body and lifts the spirit. This beloved Saturday class invites you to join in to stretch, breathe, move and awaken from the inside out with a huge variety of Qigong forms you’ll get a chance to follow, experience, and feel the Qi.

VOICES FROM OUR COMMUNITY
What our students say.
I love being part of the Tai Chi Spirit community; it’s a haven of peace and fun!
An added benefit has been the number of new good friends I have made through meeting and practicing with Josie and the other students.
Josie and the welcoming TQ community make it a truly great pursuit.
Josie has a great capacity to teach in an imaginative, patient way and build on the forms we learn until we “get it”!
