✨ Step into the heart of Tai Chi with this two-afternoon workshop designed to give you both the skills and the understanding of Tai Chi’s foundations. Gentle, practical, and beginner-friendly, this course blends martial arts wisdom with simple practices that calm the mind 🧘♀️ and build balance in the body ⚖️.
🌸 What you’ll learn:
✨ Eight Core Methods of Tai Chi
(Ward Off 🙌, Rollback 🔄, Press ➡️, Push 🤲, Pluck 🌿, Split ✂️, Elbow 💪, and Shoulder 🤝): learn how each technique teaches you to redirect pressure, maintain your balance, and open energy flow.
✨ Five Foundational Stances
🐎 Horse Stance • 🎯 Bow Stance • 🐾 Crouching/Drop Stance • 🐈 Empty/Cat Stance • ✨ Rest or Cross Stance
These stances flow together in the Wu Bu Quan (Five-Step Form) — a short but impactful sequence ⏱️ that can be performed in under 30 seconds, yet holds powerful benefits for balance and grounding 🌱.
💫 By the end of this workshop, you’ll:
🌊 Understand not just how each Tai Chi movement flows, but why it flows — its purpose in guiding your energy, posture, and resilience.
🌟 Be able to perform and link the Eight Methods with the Five Stances in a meaningful, grounded way.
🏡 Take home a simple routine (Wu Bu Quan) and the wisdom behind every stance and energy method, ready for your continued practice.
🤗 Join us for two afternoons of mindful movement, friendly guidance, and stepping into your natural balance and flow.
