Tai Chi is a gentle, flowing form of Qigong that unites body, mind, and spirit in harmony with the world around us. This non-impact movement practice builds strength, balance, and calm without stressing the joints. Rooted in the “Middle Way,” Cai chi helps us cultivate peaceful power—energizing or soothing the body through breath, awareness, and mindful motion.
The Tai Chi Fundamentals® Program offers a simple, accessible approach for all ages and abilities. This session will be tailored to the participants to provide a few basic moves progressing from simple moves for practicing almost anytime during the day, even if just for a few minutes.
Class is open to anyone including those with no prior experience. We will review movements from previous sessions and continue learning basic movements.
There will be an optional energy cultivation exercise at the end of the session. Participants can choose to release tension and cultivate energy standing, or while reclining on a yoga mat. Please bring a yoga mat and a towel/support for your head, along with any bolsters needed to be comfortable.
Taught by Marilyn Carpenter, who began the study of T’ai Chi Ch’un in 1996 with various instructors, including Stan Swartz (Pittsburgh), Michael Ward (WashingtonDC), Pat Culotti (Wisconsin) and more. Marilyn is also a teaching member of Alexander Technique International since 2006 and practices several other healing modalities.
