Tai Chi practitioner and coach, Aisling O'Shea, will guide you through this beautiful and low impact form of martial art and meditation. No equipment necessary; just wear comfortable clothing!
 This class will provide an overview of the basic concepts of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. These movements may be adapted for standing, walking, or sitting. 

First, students will be guided through a step-by-step instruction in the 5 Tai Chi Easy movements. During the middle portion of the class, participants will be guided through a series of Qi Gong movement and breath practices known as “Eight Organ Harmony” and “The Six Qi Method”. 

Finally, Aisling will introduce you to the first section of the Tai Chi long form (Yang style), followed by time for questions and a review of the 5-movement Tai Chi Easy sequence.
