Tai Chi for Beginners *In-Person*
Originally an ancient Chinese martial art, tai chi is practiced today primarily as an exercise that cultivates physical and mental harmony through movement. It's slow, fluid, form-based on the Chinese principle of yin and yang, and its emphasis on relaxed, effortless movement makes it ideal for people of all ages. You will learn the first section of the traditional Yang style of long-form Tai Chi. Wear loose, comfortable clothes and soft, flat shoes.

Our goal is to introduce the multifaceted discipline of Tai Chi to the greater Boston community, including its many benefits and history. All instructors for the “Tai Chi for Beginners” class are students of Master Tai-Chun Pan of “The Harmony Tai Chi Center”, http://www.taichiforhealthweb..... Master Tai-Chun Pan and his brother Tai-Sheng Pan created the first CCAE “Tai Chi for Beginners” class in the 1970s. We are continuing this tradition.
