T'ai Chi Fundamentals

Originally developed more than 700 years ago by Chinese martial artists, T’ai Chi continues to grow in popularity in the U.S. as a non-impact exercise for lifelong health and well-being.  T’ai Chi consists of slow moving, graceful exercises for the mind and body that strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, improve physical alignment while building leg strength, endurance, balance and stability,  and enhance relaxation skills and mental focus.

T'ai Chi Fundamentals provides a simplified, yet highly effective, means of learning and mastering the basics of this Chinese art. Developed by Tricia Yu, and offered exclusively at the Center by Dr. David I. Rosenberg, Tai Chi Fundamentals is based on traditional Yang style T’ai Chi and targets critical elements that enhance balance, coordination, strength and endurance. Ideal for the beginning student interested in experiencing the powerful health benefits of T'ai Chi, as well as for the experienced student looking to refine the core elements of the practice.
