Developed by taiji and qigong master Yang Yang, Evidence-Based Taiji & Qigong is a combination of essential components of traditional taiji and qigong proven to yield the most benefit in the shortest amount of time.
Guided by Yang in lecture, hands-on exercises, and two-person practices, we learn foundational exercises of traditional taiji and qigong, including static qigong (standing, sitting, and lying-down meditation), dynamic qigong exercises, and select taiji form movements. These practices are fundamental to nurturing our energy and understanding our mind and body connection. They also enhance our well-being, tranquility, and positive thinking in daily life.
Absolute beginners and long-time practitioners benefit equally as Yang shares the secrets of traditional practice that are absent in many Westernized forms of taiji and qigong.
Recommended reading: Yang, Taijiquan. Bring a yoga mat or towel. This class will be videotaped; you may opt out of being filmed.
