LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN: Seated Tai Chi on Thursdays!

Hi, Everybody!

We launched a new class, “Seated Tai Chi” with Kit West, on Thursday, January 4. It was blizzard conditions that day. For the second class on January 11, it was a full-blown white out!

The forecast for this Thursday, January 18? Sunny with a high temperature of 57 degrees! Let’s try this again!

Like the standing version of “principles of embodiment,” this seated class focuses on renewing our relationship with the body via slow movements coordinated with the breath and visualizations. The first part of the class can be done standing behind a chair or seated as the movements do not involve travel. The second part will be done seated as the exercises are flowing and dance-like, yet fully adaptable to the chair.

This class can improve posture, coordination, and strength, as well as lower levels of stress. The brain also becomes more alert and new neural pathways are opened as a result of this type of “brain gym.” Most importantly, a sense of joy in movement, without the stress of perfectionism, can easily become part of daily life.
