This series of classes is ideal for those with no prior Tai chi experience. It is also recommended for those who wish to refresh the foundations of the form prior to joining an intermediate class. 

Foundations of Tai Chi is based on the Yang Style 24-form, as well as Qigong (Chi-gong) breathing and patterned movements for restoration and longevity. 

Guidance is offered through functional movements which benefit our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being and train our overall balance and inner awareness. 

Dress comfortably with loose, comfortable clothing and flat shoes with minimal tread (ex. Keds, Vans, Sperrys) to prevent sticking.
