T'ai Chi Ch'uan is literally translated as “supreme ultimate boxing”. The “supreme ultimate” part refers to the Chinese concept of the origin of the universe. Out of the infinite potential of the void arises the dual principles of yin and yang. Yang being the male, warm, forceful, light principle, and Yin being the female, cool, yielding, dark principle. Neither one of these principles is superior to the other, and both are necessary because each contains some of the other. They are two sides of the same coin. The yin-yang symbol is also a symbol of T'ai Chi. T'ai Chi Ch'uan is a harmonious dance of yin and yang sometimes referred to as “meditation in motion”.
T’ai Chi was originally practiced as a martial art emphasizing strength and speed. Through time it has evolved into a gentle form of exercise that can be practiced by people of all ages. It consists of a sequence of movements that are performed slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth, even transitions.
This is a six week series with classes meeting once per week.
Tuesday sessions meet at The Yoga Place from 4-5:15pm, Wednesday sessions meet at Yoga Central 7-8:15pm and Saturday sessions meet at Yoga Central from 11:30am-12:45pm.
The next 6 week sessions begin the week of April 14th. *No meetings on Memorial Day weekend - 5/22 and 5/23*
The cost is $65 per person for all 6 weeks.
