SPECIAL CLASS: STEADY START
About this Class
A beginner-friendly 30-minute workshop for anyone who wants to feel steadier on their feet. Sharif draws on his evidence-based Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention background to teach the small, learnable skills that make everyday movement more confident - weight shifting, standing tall, one-leg balance, and the tiny stabilizer muscles that quietly hold you upright. No experience needed, no props required, chair options throughout. Perfect for anyone who has felt a little wobbly lately, is caring for an aging parent, or just wants to prevent problems before they start. Balance is a skill, not a trait, and this class is where the practice begins.
This class is appropriate for all students with all experience levels, including new and beginner students who are still learning the basics.

🎥 Camera-On Classes
We require all students to have their camera ON for the duration of class. This is for a few reasons: for the safety of all students, and for the teacher to be able to give in the moment feedback and support. Read more about this here.🎥 Camera-On Classes
