~ Tai Chi Classes with Silver Dragon ~

Silver Dragon teaches Yang style Tai Chi using a number of short forms including the Yang Style 24.  Qi Gong exercises are focused on balancing the body's energy to maintain health and well being. 

Classes consist of warm ups to loosen muscles and joints, Qi Gong (energy work) to focus the mind and relax the body and Tai Chi form and fundamentals work.  All classes end with a short Qi Gong exercise. 

First Year and Daytime classes use similar formats and materials.  Continuing and Intermediate classes are intended to allow students to move to the next level in their Tai Chi practice and include more advanced teachings and practices.  Students are encouraged to make time during the week to "play" with the material presented in each week's class.

The Yang Style Tai Chi class at CT Institute for Herbal Studies is approved for Continuing Education Hours by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).
