Find out moreTai chi is a Chinese martial-arts practice focused on movement and meditation that is enjoyed around the world by people of all ages. Its benefits include improved balance and strength, increased energy, and better mood and sleep quality. Personal trainer Brent Haddock spent a year studying tai chi at the Kunyu Shan Kung Fu Academy in China, and he’s bringing his expertise to PALM. In this class, Brent will lead you through 15-20 minutes of qigong (coordinated movements with breathing and meditation) to cultivate your qi, or your energy. Then, you’ll spend the remainder of the class learning the basic form and movements of tai chi, which is a more specific form of qigong that focuses on balance, joint strength, and mobility.
