Tai Chi New Class September 12 at 10 AM
About this Event
The class will meet at the same time every week (except for the first Satirday of each month , when we hold meditation retreat) as a cohort and learn the forms together t. The class will be taught by Myo Shin Dorota Zak, who is also a Sensei at the Zen Buddhist Temple of Chicago, and Tetsugen Jim McLaughlin. We stress the principles and the meditative aspect of Tai Chi.
Based on ancient Taoist beliefs, Tai Chi Chuan is ultimately a spiritual practice. As a beginner it initially strengthens and relaxes the body. It cultivates balance and incorporates elements of Chi Gung, the training of Chi or universal energy. Refining and focusing this energy, it will become a profound meditation. This mindfulness practice is a key to self knowledge. If you already meditate, Tai Chi Chuan is a rich addition to sitting meditation, helping one to incorporate meditation into everyday life.
We start with the Basics, a short set of exercises that teach the principles of Tai Chi Chuan, promoting mindfulness of body and mind in motion. The Basics help strengthen the legs and overall balance.
The first class is free, then $100 per month.
