In-depth work on breathing and coiling is a center point of this course. The modules will run in consecutive order, progressing through the entire Long Form over a two year period. During each module, we will be reviewing only what is covered in that particular module and not in previous modules. New students can join the Long Form class at the beginning of any module.

Advanced Tai Chi (24 Form)
If you have taken the Tai Chi (24 Form) before, then you are eligible to take this Advanced class. We will start at the beginning of the form, adding in the deeper elements of coiling power, breathing, and visualizations of circulating energy through the meridians at the same time. We start each class with a meditation to move energy through the body and we also get into some good discussions about energy and focus, etc. This Advanced class provides the opportunity to take the Tai Chi Short Form to a very profound level and experience Qi to a very deep extent.
