Tai chi has been shown to improve concentration, enhance physical wellbeing, provide meaningful social contact, reduce risk of falls, and have other benefits that are very helpful in ‘real life.’

Studies show that tai chi, a gentle exercise often called “meditation in motion,” can help older people with balance issues cut down on falls. A skilled teacher can demonstrate the slow, precise movements that help students not only find more stability, but boost overall health and mood.

Our mission:

We are dedicated to the proliferation of Taijiquan in its highest form.
We strive to further develop the Santa Barbara Tai Chi & Qigong school, our local branch of the Alex Dong International Taijiquan Association, to bring our community another venue for health and awareness, conflict resolution through the study of Push Hands, and finding the principles of yin yang, of change, in our everyday lives.
