If You’ve ever taken a class, you may have found a lot of choreography with a form that is long and complicated. While this style of teaching is useful, it often postpones answering the questions of why you’re going through all that work in the first place. Try a class and I’ll show how Tai Chi is about much more than performing a set of movements and how it can have a direct influence on your every activity. In the course of the session, you will learn the eight movement foundational postures of Wu Style Tai Chi. These postures are a container for the Neigong principles that develop internal power and relaxation and can be used for many different purposes. No previous experience is required. See www.greenleaftaichi.com for more information. Register by Tuesday, May 22nd. 24391 A neW!
