Tai Chi Essence

Beginning or no understanding of topic, Open to all
Space and loose clothed required
Likely neutral
Tai Chi Essence introduces people to Tai Chi, or perhaps introduces them to themselves using Tai Chi. We'll play with some key processes and just a few moves, which is all it takes for people to fully experience that great feeling of their own Tai Chi - something along the lines of grounded, relaxed and energised. We'll look at the body's mechanics, connections and alignments, developing 'natural posture'; We'll relax muscle around bone, cultivating the power of immersive attention along the way and notice how this makes us feel in terms of energy, restoration and balance.
