A 4-Week Journey for Balance, Culture, and Well-Being

This special May program offers a gentle introduction to Taichi as both a mind–body practice for well-being and a living cultural tradition rooted in balance and harmony. 

Through simple, guided sessions, participants will learn how to release tension, improve body awareness, and cultivate a sense of calm that can be carried into daily life. No prior experience is needed, and all movements are accessible and adaptable. 

• gentle, guided movement to support relaxation and reduce stress
• simple practices to improve balance, posture, and body awareness

Rather than focusing on performance or memorizing forms, the program emphasizes ease, awareness, and natural movement.

Taichi (Taijiquan) is a traditional Chinese practice that reflects the principle of balance (Yin–Yang)—the dynamic harmony between opposites such as effort and ease, movement and stillness.

In this program, participants will be introduced to these ideas in a simple and practical way, connecting cultural understanding with personal experience.

  Each session is designed to support:

• stress reduction
• emotional regulation
• improved focus and clarity
• a sense of grounding and calm

The approach is gentle and non-clinical, offering an accessible way to care for mental well-being through the body.

The program is guided by Dr. Ying Wang, founder of Mindful Taichi Co., a 13th-generation Chen-style Taijiquan practitioner with over 15 years of mindfulness experience. Her teaching emphasizes simplicity, relaxation, and embodied awareness in a supportive and inclusive environment.
