Every Thursday at 7 pm, we invite you to join our Tai Chi classes, a transformative practice that combines gentle movements, deep breathing, and mindful awareness.

Short for t'ai chi chüan, Tai Chi is rooted in Chinese medicine — qigong to be exact — and is thousands of years old. The practice fuses both martial arts and meditation, which might seem like an unlikely combination. However, the idea is to slow down both your mind and body by repeating rhythmic choreography and breath work for about 30 to 60 minutes.

If you were to look at someone practicing Tai Chi, it would appear almost as if they were moving in slow motion, and it would also be very clear that they were quite focused on the task at hand. Tai Chi has been referred to as a moving meditation.
