T’ai Chi: Moving Meditation
I began studying t’ai chi in 2000 with Maedée Duprès, internationally renowned t’ai chi instructor, dancer and choreographer. I received instructor training and certification from Maedée at Open Wings T’ai Chi Studio in 2006.
T’ai chi can benefit any program of movement for any ability and goal. This includes injury recovery and prevention, the challenges of chronic conditions and the aging process, adding variety to an existing exercise program, enhancing the mind/body connection and tuning in to the pure joy of movement.
I teach the Yang style, which is widely practiced in China and originated in the 1300s. I incorporate the form’s rich tradition and symbolism with its moves and sequences. I also strive to help students improve their balance, strength, flexibility and focus.
