Step into a practice that cultivates calm, balance, and greater body awareness through mindful movement and breath. Flow through the movements of Yang-style tai chi, tai chi walking, breathwork, and balance exercises while learning the foundational principles of tai chi and qigong. As you deepen your connection to the body, senior teachers Vince Sauter and Charlessa Thatcher gradually introduce new challenges that help you develop a nurturing practice.
Silk reeling serves as a moving meditation, and can foster a stronger connection to yourself and your surroundings while supporting flexibility, coordination, and well-being. Improve your practice or create one from scratch.
Carry a sustainable practice home into everyday life—tune in to your body's responses, and observe changes in stability, focus, and relaxation. As this mindful approach becomes second nature, you develop the ability to pause, listen to your body, and respond with presence.
Who Should Attend? This workshop is ideal for anyone curious about tai chi but has felt it might be too difficult to learn. It's also a great fit for those who have tried tai chi before but struggled to connect with the practice or understand how the movements flow together.
By emphasizing the foundational principles of tai chi and qigong from the very beginning, this workshop offers a more accessible way to learn. Whether you're brand new or already have experience, you gain tools to deepen your understanding, improve your flow, and develop a practice that feels natural and enjoyable. Silk reeling is a gentle standing practice.
