Our Tai Chi classes cater to beginners, but are deeply helpful for anyone. You will learn balance, flexibility and to calm your mind with the graceful movements of this gentle martial art.
You will learn the Someday Farm family form. You will loosen and strengthen your body. You will learn to play a fun and challenging (yet gentle) balance game called "push hands" or Tui Shou.
Classes are taught by Sifu Collin, who embarked on the journey of Taijiquan over 15 years ago with Sifu Stephen Watson, his benevolently enigmatic Daoist un-teacher.
