Welcome to the Durango Tai Chi Homepage!
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.
IN TOWN at 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays at St. Viles Park on E. Park Ave. near the new library (Gazebo in Rotary Park on rainy days).
New Saturday class offered starting Sept. 6. Time to be determined. Contact Tim to sign up for six weeks for only $30. Call or email to receive class description.
