Tai Chi
with Raymond Torrenti
Tai Chi is a relaxing form of meditation. It is an ancient practice harmonizing body, mind, emotion, and spirit. This six-week class will teach a short-form version involving 17 steps that can enhance your life force (chi). Tai Chi can help focus the mind and strengthen the body. The steps will build on each other so after the first two classes, drop ins will not be accepted unless you are familiar with the entire sequence and looking for a refresher class.
An introduction to Taoism will be included, providing a context for the practice. The class will be taught in a relaxing, easy approach and is designed for beginners or early learners. It is suggested that you wear loose, comfortable clothing for the classes.
