Weekly Hidden Hand Tai Chi Form
Wellness Classes
ON PAUSE DUE TO SCHEDULE CONFLICT, CHECK BACK IN JUNE!
Experience the exciting practice of quiet! Bring your zafu, meditation cushion, yoga mat or rug and start each week by relaxing the mind and settling the spirit. Whether you call in Za Zen, 靜坐, silent meditation or mindful meditation, tap into stillness by following the oldest awareness practice in the East: sitting silently, removing our ego and emotions, and experiencing what it is to let go of the monkey mind and just be...mindful in the moment. Don't just take our word for it, read this Georgetown University Medical Center report that meditation reduces anxiety as effectively as escitalopram, a common anti-depressant.

ON PAUSE DUE TO SCHEDULE CONFLICT, CHECK BACK IN JUNE!
This Tai Chi class teaches 藏手太極：Hidden Hand Tai Chi, a 42 move form. The focus of this Tai Chi class is to clear the physical body of obstructions, awaken the flow of Qi within, settle the mind and tap into a deeper awareness of the world around us. This is a more dynamic Tai Chi form focused on unlocking the Dragon Spine and allowing the Spirit to flow through the entire body. While this is a movement oriented Tai Chi class, it does not teach the martial arts aspect of Tai Chi, focusing instead on health and longevity.

Yin Style Bagua
I teach Yin Style Bagua in the traditional manner it was taught when I began: by invitation, recommendation, or application only. It is not an open class and most people can be expected to be turned away.
Why? After being the impetus of bringing this line of YSB to the public through seminars, study groups and videos, I echo Dr. Xie's disappointment in his final days with where the art was going due to being openly taught due to my early efforts.
After almost 20 years since his passing, I have decided to return to teaching the way it was when I began–only taking on students who have the discipline, diligence, physical strength, ethical outlook and maturity that means they will not only stay with the art and carry it forward, but also represent it in a manner fitting one of the last unadulterated internal arts of China.
The line I teach is the Yin Fu to Men Baozhen to Xie Peiqi lineage, the following generation of practitioners being the late Liu Shichang, He Jinbao and myself. You can find Liu Shichang's videos online, visit He Jinbao's website, see my early efforts at documenting this art, or follow what I am teaching now. While I will not be teaching openly, all classes will be filmed and made available on our teaching platform as an online learning resource for those interested in the art but do not match in person criteria.
