Weekly Beginners Tai Chi Class
With Alissa Powell and Bridget (Bee) Morris
Join us for a new weekly beginners Tai Chi class, designed to help you move with greater ease, balance, and awareness. Each session includes a gentle full-body warm-up, flowing qigong exercises, and step-by-step instruction in our Yang-style 10 Movements — a short, graceful sequence ideal for beginners as well as those wishing to deepen their existing practice.
Taught by experienced instructors Alissa Powell and Bee Morris, this class offers a welcoming, supportive environment where you can build confidence, release tension, and discover the many benefits of mindful movement.
About Qigong and Tai Chi
Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) combines gentle movement, breath, and focused intention to cultivate and balance your body’s energy, or qi (“chee”). It’s a centuries-old practice known for promoting relaxation, vitality, balance, and inner calm.
Tai Chi evolved from qigong and traditional martial arts. Often described as “meditation in motion,” Tai Chi involves a sequence of slow, flowing movements that enhance coordination, flexibility, balance, and focus.
Health Benefits
Regular practice of qigong and Tai Chi has been shown to:
- Improve balance and stability
- Increase flexibility and joint mobility
- Support better posture and body awareness
- Calm the mind and reduce stress
- Boost circulation and overall wellbeing
These practices are gentle yet powerful ways to care for both body and mind — suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
