Tai Chi in the Park (Tarnhill Park) – Through Jay – In-Person Class
June 15 @ 9:00 am – August 24 @ 11:00 am
Class Description:
One Tai Chi class, three open hand forms – all for the same price! In this class we will practice the Yang Style Long Form, the Yang Style Short Form, and the Yang 24-Form! Tai Chi in the Park is about flexibility. Join us for the entire two hours, or only for part of it (same price either way). If you don’t know one of the forms, this is your chance to try it. We will practice Tai Chi Ruler, the Eight Brocades, Short & Long Yi Jin Jing, Tai Chi walking, as well as the forms. Classes are on the softball field infield or on grass. Shade is limited, so bring water and dress for the weather. In the event of (heavy) rain, class may be held virtually on Zoom.
