This is a perfect class for people seeking a seated Tai Chi practice or for those seeking to understand some of the other Tai Chi principles or even aid with standing Tai Chi moves. I always leave this class with a better understanding and able to be more fluid in my moves. I've also been able to translate what we do to my standing Tai Chi classes.
