What we’re about
We all want to have less stress, more resilience, better vitality. We need more alternatives on the path to promoting our own individual health and the wellness of our community. Learning Tai Chi can give you practice that you can start at any age and continue to cultivate throughout life! The intention of this group is to give you a place to start, try things out and see if this is a practice for you to continue. The current plan has two parts: First, offer regular sessions that are open to total beginners throughout the summer in our beautiful parks. This will be a fun introduction and a way to start to build a practice. The other part is to invite teachers from some of the many established institutions to demonstrate. They will introduce us to what Rochester has to offer for those who want to deepen and broaden their practice. These type of practices are too beneficial not to share! There is already a free session on Wednesday's that has been running since April. Are you ready to try it out?
Is there anything I need to sign? I know some clubs have liability forms and such.
Tai Chi is generally considered a safe and effective gentle activity and can be modified so people in virtually any condition can participate. However .....
Please re-read meetup.com’s terms of service, especially section 6. You agreed to it in order to use this site. You may not have read it, but you had to check the box that said you did. In general, section 6 says if an organizer or any member places a event on the calendar and you get injured or something at it, it’s your own fault. If you can’t live with that, this group isn’t for you.

See all- Standard 24 Form With Nancy Axelrod - Zoom 8:30-9amLink visible for attendees
NOTE THE ZOOM LINK FOR THIS SESSION HAS CHANGED.
Nancy Axelrod will be leading the Thursday and Friday sessions this week while Lee is on vacation.Thursday Tai Chi sessions center on the "standard" 24 position form that is the most popular worldwide. This is a longer form that takes more time to learn with Zoom sessions than the forms we do on Tuesdays.
We break the form down into smaller pieces and also go through the entire form during these sessions to accommodate both beginners and those working on the form over a longer period.
More challenging for absolute beginners but very rewarding if you stick with it over time.
Appropriate for beginners looking for a longer term challenge and intermediate practitioners.
