CLASSICAL TAI CHI -- TUESDAYS 7:00 PM

Our classes are held at Yoga Studio Satya, 1581 York Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80918. Please wear appropriate exercise clothing and bring shoes that you only wear indoors to protect the studio’s floors (sock feet and bare feet are ok, too). We also ask that when you enter that you do so quietly. There will be a yoga class in session, and we need to keep noise to a minimum. The fee is $15/class, and all payments are cash or check only.

At 7:00, we have CLASSICAL TAI CHI. This class also is for anyone interested in the benefits that tai chi and qigong have to offer while taking a deeper dive into the body mechanics and martial concepts behind the movements. This added emphasis to structure and form enhances the internal energy flow to foster additional fluidity, strength, and rooting. These attributes cross over to enhance daily activities and improve sports performance. Body mechanics also contains powerful qigong movements that lead to improved health and vitality.

Our CLASSICAL TAI CHI curriculum features William C.C. Chen's 60-movement Yang-style form, sword form, body mechanics applications, and push hands. While previous experience in tai chi is recommended, it it not required. Please feel free to discuss your objectives with me, and we'll get you in the appropriate class.
