FAQs
Is this course suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! This course is designed for anyone looking to grasp the fundamentals of this moving meditation practice. It’s also perfect if you’re interested in self-cultivation and holistic health.
Do I need to attend all the in-person sessions?
We encourage you to join as many in-person classes as possible for the full experience, as we will cover a different section of the form each week. The partner practice sessions are optional, however. If you can’t make all the in-person sessions, you can make up that material later – it’s a lifelong practice! Plus, the online portion allows you to learn and practice at home, even if you can’t attend all live sessions.
Can I take the course online only?
Yes! You can participate fully online if you’re unable to attend in person. You’ll have access to all the online lessons, community support, and the option to upgrade with private coaching. [Click here] to access the online course.
Is this a martial arts course?
This course includes an introduction to martial arts principles and partner drills (Push Hands), but the primary focus is on foundational Tai Chi movements and self-cultivation practices. It’s perfect for those who are curious about martial arts but want to start gently.
