"Body Method" as Unifying Principle
Sunday, January 27with Buddy Tripp
“Shen Fa” or body method describes the set of movement principles found in your tai chi form or ba gua circle-walking practice that gives you a sense of grounded whole-body movement. It is possible to look at these principles as cross sections of each art, whether tai chi, ba gua, or many forms of chi gung like the ones taught at Brookline Tai Chi.
In this workshop series we will take whatever form you are familiar with or enjoy practicing and examine:
* whole body structure
* continuity of movement
* intention in movement
to uncover the core body mechanics of any form. Through two-person exercises and martial principles, we'll explore how these functional principles translate into everyday movement.
We will also explore some stretching and joint mobilization techniques along with the 6 Healing Sounds, to help you develop a well-rounded practice regiment between workshops.
Series dates: January 27, March 16, April 13 (you may attend any or all of the sessions. Sign up for all 3 and receive a 15% discount)
Prerequisite: Open to all styles and levels of internal martial arts practice.
Time: January 27, 2-6pm
Cost: $80
You may pay in advance to reserve a space or you may register the day of the event.
