What is Tai Chi?

Originally in China it was taught as a martial art and it’s been more recently introduced in North America as a system of exercises for improved health, mobility, flexibility, balance and relaxation.

The therapeutic benefits of Tai Chi are many, and when taught properly it also has a profound impact on the mind helping students improve their concentration and experience lower stress.

About

Our Classes

The Tai Chi Chuan style that we teach is known as the traditional Yang family-style. Along with it’s many variations it’s currently the most popular and widely practised style in the world today. It’s also the second oldest style among the main five family styles.

The classes we provide are without any changes or additions to the forms and style. We teach in the pure and pristine fashion as it was taught in China by the Yang Family for generations because the teaching method is important to prevent injuries and to draw the maximum therapeutic benefits.
