Boulder Tai Chi Class Description
Our Tai Chi Boulder classes mold your body by using your mind. Meditation and mental exercises are integrated into the practice.
​
Class material is based on the Cheng Hsin lineage, established by martial arts Master Peter Ralston, as well as exercises from Yang Taiji, influenced by Master Adam Mizner and others.
Our Taiji forms make use of functional movements beneficial for martial arts and daily life applications, with injury prevention as one of the main benefits.
​​​
Though no class is identical to the next, Mike's Taijiquan class rhythm begins with about 45 minutes of coordinated body-posture and movement, breathing, and meditation techniques, more akin to Qigong, which are useful for your health, spirit, and help to inform martial arts applications.
This is followed by a period of walking meditation or partner movement exploration to deepen your interpersonal and kinesthetic understanding of taiji. The final 15 minutes of class are reserved for personal practice, where students take time to work on their forms, parts of their forms, work on exercises beneficial to their practice and also receive one-on-one instruction from Mike.
