Tai Chi Chuan Essential Postures Training
Advanced Instruction is for students that have completed the Beginners Course and want to continue to deepen their understanding and experience of the Tai Chi Chuan Essential Postures Sequence.
By appointment only
In Advanced Instruction we practice more complex Tai Chi - Chi Kung’ exercises to refine the Essential Posture Sequence.
Students receive deeper instruction and feedback in rooting the feet, connecting and fixing the joints, rolling the tendons. This develops the bodies frame allowing the bodies energy to manifest as a single unit- like bamboo resulting in more effortless movement. Developing the frame also assists the student to manifest the Internal Forces “Ching” this is a necessary skill leading to a pushing hands practice.
In a gentle supervised student interactive exercise the student learns to stick, pace and listen with their bodies through softness. Like the Introductory Course there is a 15 minute Taoist sitting "Chi Kung”- meditation to energize , and gather chi. Also there is 15 minute walking Tai Chi meditation which relaxes the body to sink or "drop" the weight to the legs and feet.
