Wednesdays – 4:30pm – The 108 Traditional Yang Style

The 108 Section 1 - An Introduction

There is something timeless about the 108 Traditional Yang Style form..

This long-established sequence has been practised for generations — its movements spacious, circular, and refined through decades of embodied wisdom. In this Wednesday afternoon class, we will explore Section 1 of the full 108. Whether you are learning it for the first time or returning to it after years of experience, this is an opportunity to reconnect with the roots of Yang Style Tai Chi.

Unlike the contemporary 24 Form — which was created as a simplified, standardized sequence — the traditional 108 preserves the original pacing, transitions, and classical postures. It unfolds more gradually. The movements breathe. The weight shifts deepen. The spirals soften. Students often discover that practising the traditional version refines balance, strengthens leg stability, improves posture, and cultivates a deeper sense of internal calm.

This class is open to beginners and returning students alike. Clear instruction, repetition, and thoughtful pacing make the material accessible while still offering depth!

Prepare to step forward into the next season of Tai Chi. Discover the strength, flow, and quiet spirit that this ancient art awakens within you.

More About the 108 Traditional Yang Style Form

The 108 Traditional Yang Style form is one of the most recognized and enduring sequences in Tai Chi. Its length is not about complexity — it is about spaciousness. The form allows time to settle into each posture, to refine weight shifts, and to experience the subtle transitions that give Tai Chi its flowing quality.

Traditionally taught in sections, the 108 unfolds gradually. Each portion can stand on its own as a meaningful study in balance, coordination, and internal awareness. Practising Section 1 this spring offers a complete and satisfying exploration in itself, whether you are new to the form or revisiting its foundations.

The beauty of the 108 is that it rewards patience. Even a single section, practised consistently, can deepen strength, steadiness, and calm.
