It is a type of moving meditation in which breathing is coordinated with a series of fluid movements and postures.

Regular practice improves balance, flexibility, and strength while fostering relaxation and focus. This class covers the simplified tai chi chuan 8- and 24-forms, and is suitable for beginners. People with limited mobility may participate in a chair. 10a - 11a. First session is free.
