Austin, TX - Dec 2

Who is this Workshop for?

This is a course for anyone from the novice to the advanced practitioner.   The beginner will walk away with good habits to take into a daily practice, and those that are advanced will walk away with refinement techniques that can be easily applied to several other areas of training.

What is the Tao Health & Fitness Level One Taichi Workshop?

In our Level One Workshop we set and refine your foundation by working on the key elements in which they are made of.  We explore body mechanics, function, and application for greater use and understanding whether training for health and longevity, or training for martial competition.   With correct form and structure the techniques can be applied.  By learning these martial techniques you will strengthen your alignment of tendons, joints, and ligaments to allow maximal Qi Flow and reduce the loss of energy.  They go hand in hand and must be learned in conjunction to one another to fully benefit from your practice.  

Why you’ll want to Enroll Now!

We provide a safe fun environment in which to learn.  Unlike a lot of Taichi classes, we will be breaking down the fine details and refining your technique and comprehension as we go.  Both novice and advanced will walk away with the foundation of a strong daily practice.  The time put in here will have you well prepared for the other four levels of training that we offer in our Taichi Series Workshops at Tao Health & Fitness.
