SUN-SHEN Tai-Chi is a way of appreciating life in every moment.

Picture yourself starting your day sharing  mindful, meditative movements with other like minded people that gets your energy flowing, your mind clear, and your emotions calm.

Imagine the cumulative effect of doing this as a regular practice.

Come explore the secrets of Tai-Chi in a beautiful space immersed in nature. Our morning class is held Monday through Friday from 7 to 8 AM for $125 per month. Our next cycle to learn the 35 form starts on 9/20.

As you walk into our beautiful practice space you will be surrounded by windows on 3 sides looking out into the woods. Your mind and body can begin to relax.

Before the class starts, we gather in a circle doing Standing Meditation, awakening the energy in our body and connecting with each other.

Class starts with a formal greeting promptly at 7 AM and the gates are closed to protect the class from disturbance.

We start off with Chakra balancing exercises . You will feel your energy expand as your Chakras open and balance.  This is followed by Chi-Gong exercises that cultivate your energy pathways. As the energy circulates through the pathways, you will feel the energy flowing through your body.

Then we do the form learning how to integrate energy with movement. The form also teaches us how to be moved and be supported by the energy all around us. This concludes the first 25 minutes of the class.

Next, we do the daily lesson of the day where you learn in-depth knowledge on energy principles that guide you through your training. These are wisdom generating principles that unlock your potential through intimate knowledge of how energy is tied to everything.

After the daily lesson, we break into groups to practice this knowledge.  As you practice your discipline, you will be getting individualized attention as the instructors give you feedback on your practice. As you practice and learn how to integrate this knowledge at the skill level you are at, you learn the value of discipline through focused training and repetition.

After practice, we conclude with a formal closure. You will leave class with a clear and focused mind, feeling emotionally calm and pleasant, with your body comfortably warm and relaxed. You will be flowing with renewed energy.

If you want to complete our whole system, you  will start by learning the 35 form, then progress through learning the application of the form, pushing hand sets, 2 person form, and eventually weapons. As you progress through the system, putting these principles in practice will deepen the understanding of the nature of your mind. You will understand what causes stress, why you feel rushed, or what comes in the way of feeling fulfilled. Through the practice of SUN-SHEN Tai-Chi you will learn to appreciate life in every moment.

By practicing daily with us, you will be able to learn the 35 form within 90 days.

 

Additionally, we offer:

  • Great Lakes Flower Essence sprays for extra support, raising your energy level
  • Short energy healing sessions before and after class if needed for tune ups
  • Videos of each session and DVDs to assist your practice outside of class
  • Reading materials through our website, blogs and Facebook to supplement your knowledge
  • Private energy healing and training sessions to propel your healing and growth

"Learning Tai Chi from Sang and Joseph has been a true blessing. I used to have a lot of lower back and knee pain, especially after a long day of field work as a local organic farmer or else slouching in front of a computer. Now I know how to use my core strength and kinetic chains of muscles in my body and standing tall has become an effortless pleasure... It's the best way to start the day."

"Tai-Chi with DojoKitchen has not only helped me manage my stress, but has also improved my physical strength. What I didn't expect was that in addition to my emotional and physical well being was the practical application of the movements for self-defense... Since joining the class I feel more emotionally balanced with a greater understanding on how to handle life's ups and downs.
