Taoist Tai Chi Society of Canada

I have just started Tai Chi here and I am taking the beginner class. This is an international organization and non-​profit, so the price is reasonable. They have a seniors rate as well. Everyone is a volunteer here, including the instructors. Volunteers look after running and maintenance of the centre.
In the beginning it progresses a bit slowly, but I think it will be beneficial. I am starting to feel a shift in energy. One needs to attend all the classes in the beginning, in order to learn each position. New moves are added to the sequence each time, and with repetition things begin to flow.
Beginners can attend a practise session on the weekends, and they appear to offer various workshops, and social functions as well. There is a temple in the building. An interesting space.
Eventually all moves are combined and become one large sequence, which I suppose could be done anywhere. I can hardly wait to try it on a beach! It is not strenuous, and is good for people regaining their health and is considered to be a weight bearing exercise.

I’ve only taken one course through these guys, but I had a less than great time. Too much emphasis was placed on perfectionism, and as beginners: we were just there for fun and relaxation. The coarse moved much too fast and if you happened to miss a class: you were lost. We also had two different instructors who had completely different teaching styles. It was a confusing experience for everyone concerned, but the movements were not that terrible.
