Herb Mahood has been offering Tai Chi to Assiniboine students and staff 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.
Join in the gym on the first floor. Please no outdoor footwear; remove any soiled footwear before entering. No special attire or equipment needed.
Session one: 12:00 – 12:30
Session two: 12:30 – 1:00
