All classes are a combination of Tai Chi Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan.
As a beginner this is a quick overview of what to expect:
All classes begin with a short warm up routine incorporating gentle stretches followed by a Qigong sequence. Following a short break, the class turns it attention to Tai Chi. Here you will learn its solid foundations such as posture, leg stances, stepping and various hand and foot techniques.
