Welcome

Taijiquan
is an amazing multi-level training system: a martial
art, a self-healing exercise, a moving meditation that integrates mind,
body and energy in a wholistic practice. Beginners learn simple, effective
qigong energy-generating movement sets, basic
tai chi exercises, standing, and the Wu
or Chen Style form sequences (first section). Intermediate
practitioners review fundamental principles and practice. Five 60-90
minute Qigong and Taijiquan classes a week at Trimble Spa and Natural
Hot Springs in Durango, Colorado. Attend one or all ... more.
Taiji
training methods will improve the performance of ANY athlete.
As one student says, "Tai chi revolutionized my skiing" (Mike,
veteran ski instructor). Taiji practice can do the same for you. Even
in less than three months of regular practice.
