Classes are open to all levels—beginners to experienced practitioners. Modifications are provided for mobility limitations, injuries, or chronic conditions. We encourage consultation with your healthcare provider if you have recent surgery or severe medical concerns before attending.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows full movement. Flat-soled shoes or socks with grip are recommended; barefoot is fine if the studio floor is clean. Bring a water bottle and any props like a small towel for comfort.

Sessions typically run 60 minutes, including warm-up, guided practice, and cool-down. Some workshops may be shorter or longer depending on focus. Check the class schedule for variations and arrive early to settle in and receive any pre-class instructions.

Many participants report reduced pain and improved function through gentle movement, increased flexibility, and relaxation techniques. Tai Chi complements medical care but is not a replacement. Discuss incorporating classes with your healthcare team for a tailored approach to chronic pain.

No prior experience is required. Classes are structured to teach fundamentals progressively, with clear demonstrations and gentle pacing. Instructors offer individual attention to ensure proper form and safe progression, making the class suitable for beginners and returning students alike.

Class sizes are kept intentionally small, usually 8-15 participants, to allow personalized guidance and safe spacing. Smaller groups help instructors monitor technique and provide modifications, creating a supportive environment for learning and individual progress.
