Description:

 

Discover the interactive side of Tai Chi through an introduction to Push Hands, or tui shou—often more accurately understood as “sensing hands.” In this gentle, cooperative partner practice, we use postures and movements from the Tai Chi form to develop sensitivity to another person’s balance, timing, direction, and tension. Push Hands teaches us to listen through touch, remain relaxed under changing conditions, and respond with steadiness, adaptability, and balance.

 

Participants will explore simple, guided exercises in a supportive and playful environment. The practice offers a rewarding way to deepen your understanding of Tai Chi principles while developing coordination, confidence, and connection with others.

Familiarity with the form and instructor approval is required.
