Yang's 24 Form
Yang style Taiji is characterized by slow, continuous and circular movement. In this 16-week course, you will learn the 24 Taiji movements that can be practiced individually or strung together like a healing necklace in one continuous, beautiful, flowing form. (Beginner and Intermediate levels)

Essentials of Taiji Movement
If you want to explore the fundamental principles of Taiji movement in an in-depth way, this is the class for you. Taught in a more traditional manner, Essentials of Taiji Movement can be taken alone or in conjunction with the Yang’s 24 Form class. It will give you an excellent foundation in the essential keys to movement and balance for your Taiji practice as well as all other martial art forms you are currently studying or look forward to studying. (All levels)
