"The essence of tai ji is really to help you get acquainted with your own sense of potential growth, the creative process of just being you. Tai ji helps you to be you and to let that sense of wonder and development and constant joy of changing happen to you. Tai ji is a discipline that you as a person, as a human being, can begin to dig into and practice, and it will serve you."

TAIJI (T'AI CHI):

The practice of Taijiquan (T’ai Chi Ch’uan), commonly referred to as Taiji (T’ai Chi) translates as “great ultimate boxing” or “supreme ultimate fist”. It is a Chinese discipline that while strongly rooted in the martial arts, is mostly practiced today as a moving meditation. There are many different forms of Taijiquan, most of which are characterized by slow, continuous choreography with martial applications. Through keen awareness of breath and motion, Taijiquan creates an alert and relaxed state of being that puts the mind and body in perfect unison.
