What you can expect in class

During each class, we’ll spend time warming up and loosening our bodies, followed by standing meditation to gain deeper self awareness and to develop the internal structure and strength needed for health and wellbeing.

We’ll then shift into working with a short 10 posture Tai Chi movement set, exploring the fundamental principles and methods of qi circulation and cultivation as they manifest in the postures.

Students will work with each other to help integrate new tools and methods using two person drills and practices such as tuishou. This will allow us the space to put the principles and methods of Tai Chi into practical application for healing, and overcoming life’s stresses.

Students will also receive energetic assistance during each class. This means that I work with your energy field to balance, protect and amplify your energies. This helps you flow with a higher level of energy (Qi) and also helps make this subtle field less subtle so that you can integrate the techniques and methods more effortlessly into your everyday life. It’s two hours of bonus energy work each week!

Tuition

Tuition is $375; you have the option to pay in monthly installments ($175/month).

Tuition payments can be made in person with cash or a check and are due on the first class of the month.

Scholarship

I don’t want money to be a major hindrance or road block to you being able to grow and deepen your Tai Chi experience.

With this in mind, I’m also offering a scholarship rate for the full course.

Scholarship tuition is $300 for the course; you have the option to pay in monthly installments due at the first class of the month ($100 per month).

If you’re able to pay the full rate, I strongly encourage you to do so as it supports me, the growth of the studio, and the development of our Tai Chi curriculum and teaching tools in general.

If this scholarship rate is still too much of a burden to your financial life, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss further sliding scale rates and perhaps you can assist in other non-monetary ways.
