Learning Taiji
Let's practice some Taiji (aka Tai chi)!
Taiji is a practice of balance and harmony. It's about finding a more natural and mindful movement that enables us to come deeper in touch with ourselves (whole body-mind organism) and the world around us.
Taiji is often taught as Taijiquan (Tai chi chuan) which emphasizes it as a martial art. We will learn various Taijiquan forms, but we also will learn what is beyond the form and how we can find the principles of Taiji in our everyday movement and dance.
Given the weather is still good, we're going to practice outside. It may be a little bit chilly, but we're gonna flow with it.
If you're wanting to learn more Taiji, I'll be starting a 4 week series soon (likely Saturday mornings) - which will begin Feb 21st.
I'll be teaching a few of the forms that I know, and putting a strong emphasis on the principles, and learning Taiji from the inside out - being supported by the form but not constrained by it.
