Learning T’ai Chi, Qi Gong and Daoism

Relax! You’re meant to be where you are right now, at this moment in time. At least that’s what Daoist wisdom says!

Martial arts and meditation (the T’ai Chi Chuan Yang family system) has been an important part of my life since 2010. I credit my practice with enriching my life and helping me build resilience. It’s a great to help us slow down, breathe, and notice the beauty in the world around us.

We can learn so much when we decide to be teachable.

To learn more about T’ai Chi philosophy and practice, you can view the video clip below from a past class. Thank you for your patience as 2026 classes are being crafted.

For now, bring your focus back to your breathing. Remember that rest is resistance and we all do well, when we all do well. I hope to see you in class soon!

We discuss principles of Daoism, Taiji and Internal Style martial arts, and integrate them into our practice today. We go a little deeper into details and applications for some of the postures we already know. We review the first section of the Yang 150 Solo Form up through Press and Push, and I demonstrate Single Whip. I hope principles of practice are sinking in, and that you're enjoying classes and your personal movement practice. Be well!
