Tai Chi for Fitness...
|
Join us in person or online, as we explore Yang style Tai Chi forms and routines for beginners and beyond. Each class includes warm-up, techniques, instruction and practice. Previous experience is welcome but never required. Those learning for the first time will be offered ample guidance, while those familiar with the basic arm movements and footwork are encouraged to deepen and refine their practice. The benefits of Tai Chi are accessible as early as the first class, and continue to develop over time. We welcome questions before and after class.
CURRENT & UPCOMING SESSIONS We are currently booking Tai Chi for private group classes and events. Contact us for details. *No class on stat holidays Location, in central Orangeville, provided upon registration. |
Stay tuned for future sessions!

Classes are offered outdoors, in-studio and/or via real-time online instruction.
The In-Studio Tai Chi experience:
The space: Classes are held in central Orangeville in a large, quiet, indoor space with high ceilings and natural light. There is ample parking, bike racks and access to public transit.
Your comfort: Dress in loose, comfortable clothing and wear flat casual shoes or non-slip socks. Bring water (taps are available for refills).
The Outdoor Tai Chi experience (available seasonally):
The space: Classes are held in Mono or at a public park location in/around Orangeville. We select a space with a choice of filtered shade or sun, allowing our group to adjust to the weather conditions and seasons. Locations are confirmed upon registration.
Your comfort: Dress in loose, comfortable clothing, appropriate for the weather, and wear flat casual shoes or fitness shoes. Bring water and (optionally) bug spray, sunscreen, a hat, or sunglasses. You may borrow outdoor mats (let us know), or bring your own yoga mat if you wish.
The online class experience (available by special arrangement):
Your space: All you need is a small area where you have room to move a step forward/back, and to each side. If possible, an area with few distractions is ideal; do your best!
Your comfort: Wear something loose and comfortable. Light, flat non-slip footwear or bare feet are good options. Have some water close by to sip as needed during class.
Your tech: Use any screen, phone or tablet you like to tune in to class. A larger screen can help you see the details of the moves more clearly. Online participants, please keep microphone set to "mute" during class (unless you need to ask/respond to a question). Turning camera on is optional, but recommended.
Availability of online access is by special request for registered participants. Occasionally, classes my shift to online due to severe weather, travel advisories, or other unusual circumstances.
Tips:
Arrive or log in up to 15 minutes ahead of class time to say hello, ask questions, and/or begin personal practice.
