This series will steward you through the essential basics of this highly regarded art form. You will learn structure, movement fundamentals and the first foundational movements. You will gain balance, calm and insight. From here you can continue your study at the main school, repeat the series as many times as you wish or take what you have learned onward! These are 8 weeks that will enhance your life in many ways.

The program’s certified instructor is Scott House. Scott (aka Scooter) has been a member of Embrace The Moon Taijiquan & Qigong for 16 years. From the beginning Scooter has had what it takes to perceive and coordinate the inside body/mind with the outside expression. His diligent daily practice and intention to work on a deep level with Taijiquan and Qigong gives him a wealth of intuitive and creative methods for imparting information with skill and humor, conveying unfamiliar concepts and movements in highly accessible and fun ways. Scott is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and when not working in video design and production or practicing Taijiquan, he can be found at his spinning wheel plying alpaca, wool and silk. 

Tai Chi Beginner’s Series is closed for the fall. Let us know if you’d like to be notified for future series!

Congratulations on Chen Bing’s recent promotion to the rank of Grandmaster and welcome back to Seattle. We are excited for your return. This year we are moving into the Xinjia Yilu (New Frame, first road), as well as more of Master Chen’s signature Fang Song and his exquisite 49 Sword! And… exciting news…Master Chen is traveling with his 26 year old Son, Chen Shaotong, who has himself been practicing under his father’s instruction since he was 4. We will have a chance not only to nurture and learn ourselves, but to experience living history, one generation of the founding family nurturing the next.
