It’s not intimidating. The movements are gentle, quiet and flow in a circular pattern. Thus it is easy for anyone to become initiated in it. Tai Chi’s slow, synchronized movements are easy to learn and to perform. Classes are inexpensive, and it can be practiced almost anywhere at any time, with no special equipment or clothing. Classes usually last about one hour. They begin with a gentle warm-up. The instructor demonstrates individual poses and then leads the class through the sequences, step by step, gradually linking the movements together in longer sequences. The sequences can be done slowly, or with more speed and energy. But movements are always soft and graceful, with careful attention to breathing and posture. Classes end with cooling down exercises. At the end of class, you should feel relaxed. Click here for more information on Tai Chi classes near you.
