Taiji, also commonly spelled Tai Chi, is a practice that combines gentle, flowing movement with many of the internal principles found in Qi Gong. The two names refer to the same practice, with Taiji reflecting the modern Pinyin spelling of the Chinese term.

Rather than focusing on martial applications or memorizing complicated forms, this class explores the practical aspects of Taiji that can support health, vitality and overall well-being.

Through simple movements, exercises and practices, participants can work on balance, mobility, coordination and circulation while gently building energy and vitality. The practice also encourages releasing unnecessary tension, calming the nervous system, breathing more comfortably and creating a greater sense of ease in both body and mind.

There is no need to push or force anything. An important part of the practice is learning to listen to your body and work with it rather than against it.
