Tai Chi Flow - just follow along!
Tai Chi Flow class is traditional Tai Chi movements in a familiar, easy to follow, exercise class format. No memorization required!
Tai chi is a Chinese martial art that developed a unique practice method with incredible health benefits for arthritis, anxiety, pain management, blood pressure, and especially for balance.
But a traditional Tai Chi “form” is a 10-25 minute series of detailed choreographed movements, this requires some memorization and solo practice, similar to learning violin or a language. Not everyone is ready for that kind of commitment so we offer 2 kinds of classes Tai Chi flow and Traditional Tai Chi.
