About this Event
A six week foundation for using Tai Chi to regulate the body, the breath and the mind.
Medical Tai Chi looks at where everyday pain, tension and fatigue come from, and offers a practical way to work with them through gentle movement, breathing, relaxation and postural alignment. Each week builds on the one before, so what you learn stays with you long after the series ends.
Over the six weeks you will work toward being able to:
Relax quickly, entering a state of physical and mental ease when stress or strong emotions arise
Regulate energy and tension, releasing unnecessary muscular and mental effort so less energy is spent under pressure
Develop calm and positive energy, a sustained sense of stability and engagement
Improve clarity and focus, with greater awareness and concentration
Support clear decisions and action, responding calmly and deliberately
Improve balance and structural flexibility, with better mobility and coordination through the core structure of the body
Reduce pain and tension through appropriate movement, relaxation, breathing and alignment
Support chronic condition management, building safe self regulation and movement practices that complement appropriate medical care
Open to all levels. No previous experience with Tai Chi is needed. Wear comfortable clothing and flat shoes.
Dates: Mondays Nov 9, 16, 30 and Dec 7, 14, 21
Time: 6:00 to 7:15pm, Main Room
Registration is for the full six week program: $199 (about $33 per class). Seniors and Donna's current students can use code DONNA20 for $156 ($26 per class). Home Pass holders can also book with their pass.
Each class builds on the one before, with clear objectives for the series, so we recommend joining all six weeks to make meaningful progress. New to Medical Tai Chi?
