WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO JOIN A TAI CHI CLASS?

  • As a newbie to Tai Chi you might not know that it is best to join a Tai Chi class is on the first day of classes of any new session. Our classes are very popular, and there is limited space in most tai chi classes, so please register as soon as possible when registration first opens, which is usually at least a month to 6 weeks prior to the start of all classes. If you can’t make it to the first few weeks of classes in 2025, contact us right away by email and we will see if special arrangements can be made for you to join in at a later date.
  • Please note that some Tai Chi classes are on-going because a tai chi class can take anywhere from 3 months to 2 years to learn. For that reason you may find some of the Tai Chi classes are closed to new registrations. If that is the case, and you want to join in a Tai Chi class starting in September 2025, please email us and we will put you on a waiting list.

    WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO JOIN A HEALTH QIGONG CLASS?

    With our Health Qigong classes YOU CAN JOIN ANYTIME… if the class is not already full.

  • Check out more information below:

  • As a newbie to Health Qigong you are welcome to join us anytime. The Tuesday Zoom Only Qigong and the Saturday In-Person or Live-On-Zoom classes practice different Qigong exercises each week. Each class is unique. Each class includes a body-warming, flowing warm-up, stretching along strengthening  and balance qigong exercises. Each class then gently moves through different Qigong “forms.”
  • No experience is required to try out this ancient health regime and exercise program. Sometimes, however, the In-person class may be deemed “full” to new drop-ins or registrations. To find out if a drop-in is still available please go here: DROP-IN UPDATES
  • The next opportunity to sign up, in full, for a Qigong class, will be March 1st, 2025. Our Saturday In-Person Qigong fills up really quick, so sign up early. Saturday Qigong on Zoom is also an option!
  • The Tuesday Class is On-Zoom only and makes getting to class really easy. Just roll out of bed, turn on your computer and you arrive! No traffic.
  • Full registrations, pro-rated, 4-packs and drop-ins are available… but for a limited time only.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEW STUDENTS

  • Some of the classes are both In-Person and Live-On-Zoom (hybrid), while others are In-person only or Zoom only. Space is limited for all In-Person classes so you’ll want to register early to secure your spot. HOW TO REGISTER

OUR KEEP HEALTHY POLICIES

      • Unless mandated by the Provincial Health Authority you are welcome to wear a mask, or not. Whatever is your preference.
      • Some of our classes are In-Person only while others still offer both In-Person or Live-On-Zoom. We have one that is Zoom only.
      • Instead of missing class because of a sniffle, please take advantage of being on Zoom when and if required. Many students Zoom in from all over the world while they are on vacation or travelling for business.
      • If the Provincial Health Authority mandates a shutdown, all classes will revert to Zoom.
