Beginner Tai Chi
Beginner Tai Chi
Explore the movements of the new form Ba Fa Wu Bu (Bā Fǎ Wǔ Bù — “Eight Methods, Five Steps”) with Tai Chi Vermont certified instructor Jo Bregnard. If being on your feet for an extended time is challenging for you, join us right from your chair.
In China, Ba Fa Wu Bu is now taught as the standard beginner form. It includes quintessential tai chi movements, and it focuses on the core principles of the practice:
* deliberate weight transference
* healthy posture
* relaxed breathing
* body awareness
* steps that improve balance and agility
