T’ai Chi Chih (TCC, pronounced “Tie Chee Chuh”)

“Learn how to meditate in motion, simply, easily”. TCC provides a marvelous way to handle the stresses of daily life.

TCC is Similar to other martial arts, but different in that this low-impact movement strengthens from the inside out, which means that it’s less stressful on the bones, joints and muscles than more strenuous exercise. The gentle circular movements are done standing. Shifts in body position and stepping in coordination with arm movements offer a complete workout physically. The core of strength comes from the ground, improving balance, muscle strength and mobility.

Everything in life is impermanent. The current world situation is one where many are faced with the fallout of an uncertain future. T’ai Chi Chih practices can and will provide the calmness and grounding necessary to carry ourselves through the worry, loss, and anxiety that may be happening this season and in the coming year!

In this class, you will learn the 19 moves and one pose that is T’ai Chi Chih.

5 basic qualities of TCC are: Slowness, Evenness, Clarity, Balance, Calmness

It is the softness of this style of exercise that develops energy. Moving with softness means letting go of muscular tension, as well as mental tension. It emphasizes self-awareness, physical balance and energy flow. You don’t have to do them perfectly. TCC is very user friendly!
