Tai Chi & QiGong–Grassroots of Self Care

Ever feel like your health is not under your control? Ever think there has got to be a better way of staying healthy than boring and sometimes damaging exercise? Want to build a stronger immune system, improve balance and flexibility, reduce stress and create a stronger, more vibrant body by moving in a lovely, slow, dance-like way? Enter the ancient arts of Tai Chi and Qigong.   Learn how you may lower your BP 10 points in two minutes, increase your circulation and mental focus, prevent and improve many health conditions, and the list goes on and on. Come and let us share with you the wonderful and dynamic healing world of Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
Even if you are already on the Tai Chi Path—unless you are studying with a private instructor at a private studio—there are limits to what you will learn and what is allowed to be taught. At Trayfoot Mountain Studio we have no such limitations. Techniques and advanced theory shared in our classes will greatly enhance your Tai Chi and Qi Gong studies…no matter who you study with!

FREE Introductory Class!  Call for details

Trayfoot Studio Spring/Summer 2026 Schedule

Summer Break — July 2 – August 14

Tuesdays

9:30 a.m. Beginners Class

Tai Chi Basics, Qigong Basics, and Meditation at the Pond. Start with 7-Movement Tai Chi Form. New students may start this class anytime, however, if you decide to join this class, I will meet with you privately the first class to get you started so you can blend into the group already working on forms. At 10:00 a.m. you will join the Deuce Mixture class. I like this mix because it is a combination of American and Chinese (follow more experienced students) teaching styles.

10:00 a.m.–Deuce Mixture Tai Chi & Qigong

Overview: This is a wonderful class for those who want to improve or maintain their health naturally while learning Qigong forms such as Eight Pieces of Brocade, Seasonal Qigong, Ruler Tai Chi/Qigong, Rainbow Fan Form, other Tai Chi forms and a short meditation. Class is on our new Tai Chi Pavilion overlooking the pond and meditation is in the pagoda at the pond.

This is a mixed level class with almost beginners to the more experienced. We focus on Silk Reeling movements for all major systems but especially the lungs and kidneys during fall and winter.

After we complete the movements we have a guided meditation and do some qigong meridian self-massage.

Because we use a Punch Card System* you do not lose sessions when you can’t attend. However, those who rarely miss class do usually reap more benefits!

Everyone from 18 and up is welcome.

Thursdays

10:00 a.m. –Tai Chi Forms

This is a class for intermediate to the more experienced. We do a variety Tai Chi and Fan forms. Right now we are focused on the 32 Movement Form and the Rainbow Fan Form.

Some experience recommended.

NEW class by Appointment at Private Instruction Rate

Mindful Movement for Self-Healing & Better Balance

Many of us have reached the distinctive Senior title… and sometimes balance and health issues accompanies this title. A recent research study manned by doctors, physical therapists, tai chi masters and elder care specialists designed a program to create better balance in seniors and thus prevent dangerous falls. I have combined this with anti-cancer movements, movements to enhance flexibility, and movements that may help with neck, back and knee issues.
You will also learn to recognize your “tipping point” so you can stop a fall from happening.
Half of this 45 minute class will be done sitting, and believe it or not, the sitting movements are designed to strengthen your core, lower back/sacrum area, hips and abs! We finish up with a sitting meditation around the fire pit.

Private Instruction Available–call or text for details.
