Beginner Part 3 Classes
In the Beginner Part 3 classes students learn postures 26 – 37, the final section of the “T’ai Chi Form”. Beginner Part 1 classes (postures 1 – 12) are taught in the January – April session, and Beginner Part 2 (postures 13 – 25) are taught in the Summer semester. You do not have to learn the entire form. You can stop taking classes at any time and continue to practice and benefit from the part of the T’ai Chi form that you have learned.
The same content is taught in the Beginner Part 3 Zoom class that meets on Thursday evening. Students registered for the Sunday, or Monday Beginner Part 3 classes can also attend Zoom classes on Thursday evening at no additional cost. All Zoom classes are recorded and a link to the recording is sent each week to both In-Person and Zoom students as an aid to practicing the movements between the classes.
