Chakra Tai Chi is a cleansing, empowering practice that includes easy-to-learn, accessible Tai Chi movements, visualizations, colors, elements, and sounds. This moving meditation brings the chakras – the vortex of energy centers – into balance and allows the energy to move freely. Once the energy is flowing in our bodies, we can each find our own process for healing, find our own body wisdom.

🌟 Movements offered both seated and standing

🌟 No prior experience necessary

Join us in welcoming the spring season!

Co-led by Jenn Biehn and Rosetta Saunders who have been practicing this movement meditation together for over three years, co-creating various ways of presenting Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Jenn has been a certified Tai Chi Chih teacher for over 30 years and is now training new folks to bring these practices into their communities. Rosetta is a drum artist using sacred rhythms for intergenerational healing and cross cultural ceremonial circles.
