Herb Mahood has been offering Tai Chi to Assiniboine staff and students for over five years.
Tai Chi is a moving medication practice. Herb Mahood makes it accessible to anyone, regardless of experience level by introducing static movements one at a time and then introducing more movement and sequencing. Every session opens and closes with the eight brocades, a gentle Qigong practice that involves intentional movement coordinated with breathing.
We meet in the gym on the 1st floor.
