  • The class runs for approximately four months and each session lasts 2 hours.

  • After completing the four-month course, the class restarts for new students.

See the Beginner Course section below or our FAQ page for more information.

Open Practice

  • This class is for those that have completed or have made it through most of the beginner’s program.

  • More emphasis on details of the moves and the form. Greater focus on foundations to build strength, flexibility, and balance.

  • A set is usually done during class, but sometimes this can be missed depending on moves/sequence being worked on.

Continuing Level

  • There is no formal instructions or guidance provided, allowing the group to focus on whatever they choose. This practice session is for registered members only.

Maxx Class

  • This class is highly demanding, both physically and mentally,
    and places a deeper emphasis on understanding the form in much finer detail. A commitment to train is required.

  • MAXX class is a platform for instruction when the participant is ready, although it is not essential to be an instructor to participate in this class.

  • MAXX participants are invited to the class, however, requests to join are also welcome.

Tai Chi is a form of moving meditation that results in students finding balance and relaxation, while improving body awareness, strength, flexibility, and mental/cognitive health.

We practice a modified Yang set, as developed by Taoist monk Moy Lin Shin, to maximize the health benefits from its gentle and effective movements.
