Learn basic techniques and movements of Tai Chi from instructor Dr. Liu, who will lead participants in a gentle session, great for beginners or anyone looking for a peaceful evening outdoors.

We will start with a breathing exercise called "Eight Brocades” (Ba Duan Jin), a popular form of Qigong — a traditional Chinese practice involving gentle movements, breathing techniques, and focused attention to cultivate energy flow and promote health. Each of the eight brocade movements focuses on a different part of the body and aims to improve the flow of Qi (vital energy). Before each of our TAIJI practice sessions, we will focus on 2-3 of the Eight Brocades forms.

After the body is activated and breathing is deepened, we will start practicing some basic TAIJI QUAN (fists) movements. The first four movements are: ward-off, roll-back, press, and push. These movements will be connected into a slow, smooth, gentle flowing sequence that can be practiced with music.

At the end of the session we will calm down with stretching moves, deep breathing to leave the body and mind energized, yet relaxed.
