The Internal Exercise-Art of T’ai Chi Ch’uan is a Holistic discipline grounded in the philosophy of the “Unity of Opposites”. T’ai Chi Ch’uan’s translated name - Balance Fist - relates to the harmonious balancing of Yin/Yang energies in the body through movement and awareness.

This is an invitation to investigate Movement and Awareness and their relationship to Perception, Thought, Attention, Insight, and Consciousness, and how these core topics can advance individual development of alertness, clarity of thought, and grace in movement. 

    These ancient Chinese physical movements are designed to gather, circulate and build up subtle energy (Chi or Prana) for the simultaneous development of Physical, Emotional, Mental well-being and Spiritual development.
