Tai Chi
2025-11-10 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Winnipeg) | Weather permitting, we are now meeting under the tree near the entrance of the children’s playground outside entrance door 606, (first floor, between the 100s and 600s classrooms). If it too hot in the sunshine, we move close the the picnic table on the east side of the children’s playground. If weather does not permit, we meet just inside of that entrance.
Herb Mahood has been offering Tai Chi to Assiniboine staff and students for over five years. Extended hours starting November 3. Two sessions 12:00 – 12:30 and 12:30 – 1:00
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.
