Practiced worldwide, Tai Chi is suitable for people of all ages and is valued for its health benefits, relaxation, and meditative qualities.

Students will learn the fundamental movements, develop body awareness, and experience the calming mind-body harmony that Tai Chi brings. This course is suitable for anyone interested in Chinese traditional culture, supporting both physical well-being and mental clarity.
