T'ai Chi Step One - Course Curriculum
"This is the class you've been looking for!" - Marie Lew, Instructor
1. Learn a complete classic Chen style "small frame." Chen style t'ai chi is a root form, having given rise to many other styles of t'ai chi.
2. Develop balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and breathing techniques to help stabilize your life.
3. Learn how to flow through your day, feeling vitally alive and wholly centered.
4. Learn specific movements to activate the flow of energy within your body, to stimulate circulation of blood, to improve the flow of lymph for better nutrition and cleansing of tissues throughout the body.
5. Learn techniques of concentration and focus.

T'ai Chi Step One offers both short-term and long-term benefits. Each Session, Spring or Fall, consists of 30 classes during which the marvelous T'ai Chi form unfolds. Each hour class includes warm-ups and breathing exercises followed by step-by-step learning of this classic form. The art of energy balance and flow is precisely and subtly conveyed.

T'ai Chi Step One students practice informally in Boardman Park and Wick Park during the Summer months. These practices are free and open to the public. Valuable confidence is gained in these group practices. Plus, there are the benefits of exercising in fresh air in the natural settings the parks provide.
