Fusion Olympia Classes

Tai Chi forms are continuous movements created by linking postures together.
This internal art of Chinese origin follows a traditional lineage currently taught by
Master Alex Dong of New York. It is centered around a series of slow, rehearsed movements which de-emphasize personal body patterns and reduce the affects
of stress on the body. Students of all levels will benefit from attending this ongoing drop-in class. Practitioners develop confidence in movement by understanding how
tai chi postures are based on stances that naturally provide support for upper body movements. The postures of tai chi include a variety of standing shapes made by
gentle rounding of the legs and arms. Consistent practice moving through these
postures results in greater health from increased balance, strength, and relaxation.
Cost: $12 per Drop-in class $40 for 4 classes, and $80 for 8 classes.
