Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi is a combination of Tai Chi and Qigong that helps build posture and balance, muscle tone and a healthy range of movement without putting stress on the joints. Regular practice of the 18 forms supports health and vitality, calms the mind and improves breathing.

As we age, growing and maintaining muscles becomes harder and even more important for movement.

This class helps improve strength, mobility and stability using simple equipment and your body weight. Exercises are performed seated or standing, depending on your preference.

You are encouraged to move at your own pace and fitness level. No experience is needed.
