Tai Chi
Supervisor: Laura Greeley
Tai Chi (Yang Style): Taijiquan (grand
ultimate fist) refers to a series of dynamic,
connected postures strung together in a smooth,
flowing manner. Within the postures are martial
art aspects that are largely hidden. Class begins
with QiGong sets and moves on to emphasize the
24 posture Beijing style (Yang short form). Class is
oen taken on a continuing basis.
Instructor: Beatrice DeFranco
Min 6/Max 20
Class does not meet: 8/16, 6/21
QiGong for the Season
Supervisor: Laura Greeley
Experience the flow of energy (Qi) and the power
of self-healing. Learn how to combine static and
moving meditations with the Five Elements and
cycles of nature to cultivate your energy garden.
Season-specific foods will also be introduced.
Many healthcare practitioners are discovering and
recommending this Chinese bio-energetic system
as a productive, integrative therapy that supports
wellness through exercise.

Therapeutic Tai Chi
Supervisor: Laura Greeley
Class focus is on using breath
and energy techniques
common to tai chi & qigong
to progressively bring about a
state of balance and stability.
We begin with chair work
to open joints and release
tension throughout the body.
As the class progresses, we
move to more challenging
Temple style tai chi (can be
done standing or sitting)
which supports strength, endurance and balance.
Many feel that the most valuable thing about the
class is that it retrains the breathing to restore deep
vitality.
Instructor: Beatrice DeFranco
Min 6/Max 16
Class does not meet: 6/23
