Tai Chi

8-week session
Class size: 16
Banks Gym

We Offer Two Courses:

Beginner:

This series of classes will offer guidance through functional movements which benefit our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being and train our overall balance and inner awareness.

No experience necessary. Based on the 24-movement short form of Yang style Taiji (Tai Chi) as well as Qigong (Chi-gong) sequences for breath work and longevity. Dress comfortably with flat, flexible shoes.

Intermediate:

This series of classes is designed for those who have previously taken Cheri’s beginner class or have had prior Tai Chi training experience. Yang style experience is helpful but not critical. Through repetition of the 24 Form, more will be emphasized toward filling the movements with efficiency and power and through individual attention. Dress comfortably with flat, flexible shoes with minimal tread

Cheri Maffei-Wolff has trained in several Tai Chi forms and has successfully competed in National Tournaments with Open Hand forms and the partner practice of Push Hands. She subscribes to the practice of Tai Chi as an essential way to calm the mind and connect the body. Cheri has been teaching in Richmond for nearly 20 years.
