Intermediate Level
This level deepens the meditation.
It makes minor refinements to smooth out the transitions between individual postures. The form then becomes one continuous flow - an exchange of Yin and Yang that is like simply breathing.

Push Hands
This practices real life interactions. We also call this 'Tai Chi conversation'. It teaches us how to stay relaxed in our dealings with others. We learn to connect, listen, & respond, without feeling anxious or being defensive.
*Class is provisional depending on enough sign-ups in week 1 of term
