WHIP CITY TAI CHI
& EVOLVING TRADITIONS
January 2023 Tai Chi Workshop!
A Taste of Tai Chi
The theme of this class is to bring slow rhythmic movements in harmony with the breath to promote deep relaxation. We will explore releasing, also known as sung, through soft, smooth, circular, spiral and rhythmic movements. Sung is a principle in Tai Chi that can be experienced without learning the complexities of a Tai Chi form. We will explore how these ideas can be integrated into daily life and, if desired, in learning a Tai Chi Form. Open conversation among class participants will lead the direction of the information shared. No experience needed.
This class will be Thursday morning January 19, 2023 at 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM
at the Westfield Yoga Center
94 North Elm Street
Westfield MA 01085
