Tai Chi 8-Posture Yang Style

Tai Chi 8-Posture Yang Style
In this introductory class, the student will be learning the 8-posture Yang style Tai Chi form. This is the first set that is typically presented to beginning students that is the easiest to learn, as opposed to learning the traditional sets where a person is actually memorizing a particular sequence. The postures, instead, are taught with the idea of practicing 8 postures in a repetitive way and repeating them on left and right sides

These postures are considered the classical standing postures that adhere in some Tai Chi sequences such as the 24, 36 and long form Yang style Tai Chi forms.

The student will be introduced to a brief warm up sequence for preparation and will learn the 8 postures. 

These will be presented in the context of fundamental Tai Chi principals.

This class provides access to a free Practice/Demo video.

Tai Chi has been found to improve:

  • stress
  • quality of life
  • psychological well-being
  • sleep
  • balance
  • strength
  • immune function
  • cardiovascular and pulmonary function

 

According to the United States National Institute of Health studies, practicing Tai Chi may help to improve balance and stability in older people and in those with Parkinson’s disease, reduce back pain and pain from knee osteoarthritis, and improve quality of life in people with heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. Studies also found that Tai Chi may ease fibromyalgia pain and promote general quality of life and may improve reasoning ability in older people.
