I have been a fan of Tai Chi's slow dance since 2005, and quite accidentally (I will save that story until we meet in person), completed my first Tai Chi for Health certification in August of 2013, never planning to facilitate weekly Tai Chi classes. In hindsight, after meeting so very many, many, many wonderful humans and being a part of so very many, many, many vibrant communities over the years, I sure am glad I chose to step toward facilitating!
Arriving at class, you'll notice your breathing begins to slow down, and it may even seem that time slows down as well. Reasons for rushing dissolve when your practice starts. In addition, the meditative pacing of Tai Chi forms soothes joints as though the movement is a medication of sorts. Relaxation sets in and tensions melt away. In this relaxed, internal environment, strength and balance improve.
For me, practicing Tai Chi's essential principles in and out of the classroom has had a positive effect on my balance, strength, and stability, and I've seen the same benefits manifest for many others as well.
By the end of class, your height fully claimed, you'll FLOW out into your day healthier for the time spent focused on yourself and the way you move.
