Start the Year of the Fire Horse right! By popular demand and due to the overflow of our regular classes, Embrace The Moon is opening a new Tai Chi class for beginners! This series will steward you through the essential basics of this highly regarded art form. You will learn structure, movement fundamentals and the first foundational movements. You will gain balance, calm and insight. From here you can continue your study at the main school, repeat the series as many times as you wish or take what you have learned onward! These are 8 weeks that will enhance your life in many ways.

The program’s certified instructor is Scott House. Scott (aka Scooter) has been a member of Embrace The Moon Taijiquan & Qigong for 16 years. From the beginning Scooter has had what it takes to perceive and coordinate the inside body/mind with the outside expression. His diligent daily practice and intention to work on a deep level with Taijiquan and Qigong gives him a wealth of intuitive and creative methods for imparting information with skill and humor, conveying unfamiliar concepts and movements in highly accessible and fun ways. Scott is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and when not working in video design and production or practicing Taijiquan, he can be found at his spinning wheel plying alpaca, wool and silk. 

The series begins Wednesday February 4th and continues through March 25 and registration is now open. The series is sold out for Winter.

2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, we make our pilgrimage back to Chenjiagou for 10 Days of Traditional Training with Chen Family School Principal Grandmaster Chen Xiao Xing. We eat, sleep and train in the traditional way gaining great insight into not just our forms but into the history of Taijiquan itself. We will train strongly, but also have time to relax and visit the museum, the historic Ditch, and simply wander around the Village itself, soaking in history and interacting with the amazing people who call Chenjiagou their home. Your form and your life will be transformed. Davidine Sim will join us as our translator, greatly enhancing our experience. You do not want to miss being on this floor!

The training will be from September 1-10 but keep in mind it takes 2 days to get there and 2 to return. *This is an intermediate+ training. One should have a solid handle on the choreography of the Laojia Yilu.

$1800 USD will pay for all the training, food, accommodation, and translation.

This fee does not include travel, visas or overnight hotel while traveling to and from the Village or any supplemental trips you may choose while in China.

Space is limited to 15 people and the first deposit of $500 is required by March 31.

This trip is now full. Contact Kim to be wait listed.
