• Saturday 8:30 am: Body Blast Fitness Studio in Taunton

This class is limited to 18 students. All sign up and registration is handled by Body Blast Fitness Studio in Taunton.

How is the class structured?

Each session will begin with a warm up, a short standing meditation session and explore a different essential tai chi concept. Then we will practice movements individually learning the technique before combining them into the 108-Form set. We will end the class with a gentle cooldown. Some classes may incorporate the martial application of the movements or pushing hands practice.

What should I wear to class?

Any comfortable clothing is fine. Wear something you might wear to go for a walk around your neighborhood. Avoid overly tight or restrictive clothing.

I recommend wearing flat shoes to do tai chi. For indoor classes, you can wear sneakers, dance shoes, or any other flat shoe, or you can practice tai chi barefoot. For outdoor classes, please wear flat, outdoor shoes.

Can anyone learn tai chi?

Tai Chi is appropriate for people of all ages and abilities. It is gentle and relaxing to practice and the movements of tai chi are practiced in slow motion. It is similar to walking in terms of physical exertion.

How often should I practice tai chi?

The health benefits of tai chi come with regular practice. Begin with five to ten minutes daily working upwards. The greatest benefits occurs with longer and frequent practice. Aim for 30-60 minutes most days of the week.
