The 42 form - An Introduction - Plus: Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang - AKA The Stick
This combination Tai Chi Qigong Fusion class will be illuminating! This Wednesday class offers students a rich and rewarding opportunity to explore the 42 Form Tai Chi alongside the beautiful Health Qigong routine known as Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang, or Tai Chi Stick Qigong. Practising at Highlands United Church in Edgemont Village, students will gather in a welcoming and supportive space to develop balance, coordination, posture, focus, and a deeper sense of calm through both Tai Chi and Qigong.
The 42 Form Tai Chi is a graceful and engaging routine that brings together movement qualities from several major Tai Chi traditions. It offers students a meaningful way to strengthen their foundation, improve whole-body coordination, and experience the steady flow of Tai Chi as both a physical practice and a moving meditation. With its variety of postures, transitions, and internal rhythms, the 42 Form gives students plenty to explore — one step, one breath, and one movement at a time.
To complement the Tai Chi portion of the class, students will also be introduced to Tai Chi Stick Qigong, also known as Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang, a gentle and enjoyable Health Qigong practice using a stick that you create. This form adds a fresh and playful element to the class while still encouraging the same qualities we cultivate in Tai Chi: relaxation, alignment, breath awareness, mindful movement, and the harmonious connection between body, mind, and Qi.
