“Go with the Flow”
– A 5-Week Challenge 
for Growth & Self-Discovery

This course builds a functional Tai Chi foundation through movement, application, and internal awareness.

Training includes basic principles, push hands, Qigong, and mindfulness practice in a structured but relaxed environment.

Suitable for both beginners and continuing students.

​

Is This Program Right for Me?

This program is well suited for students who:

• enjoy learning through a regular weekly rhythm;

• wish to strengthen Tai Chi fundamentals through consistent practice;

• appreciate a shorter learning cycle that fits a busy schedule;

• would like to continue practicing between seasonal Foundation Programs;

• are returning to Tai Chi after time away;

• prefer gradual, steady progress over intensive study.

​

What You Will Experience

Each five-week cycle emphasizes practical training rather than simply learning more material.

Students gradually strengthen:

• body organization;

• balance and coordination;

• movement quality;

• foundational Tai Chi skills;

• observation;

• independent practice habits.

Selected forms and training methods may vary throughout the year while continuing to support the same long-term educational goals.

Learning Rhythm

One of the strengths of this program is its steady weekly rhythm.

Many students find that practicing once each week over five consecutive weeks helps establish habits that are easier to maintain over time.

At the end of each cycle, students have an opportunity to rest, review their practice, or continue into the next learning cycle.

This natural rhythm allows learning to remain both sustainable and enjoyable.

​

Terminology Through Movement

Key concepts are introduced through physical experience rather than abstract explanation

​

Dynamic Training

Tai Chi is presented as a functional system, not just a sequence of forms

Foundation First

Focus on long-term development instead of short-term intensity​​

​​

Part of the Foundation System

Go with the Flow is one of the Foundation Programs at Tao Tai Chi Studio.

Together with Earthing Tai Chi Course One, Earthing Tai Chi Course Two, and Seeking Balance Series, it provides another pathway for building a thoughtful and sustainable Tai Chi practice.

(Foundation System Handbook will be introduced later.)

​

Questions?

If this five-week learning rhythm does not fit your current schedule, you may wish to explore another Foundation Program or private instruction.

Private lessons provide additional flexibility for students who would like to:

• strengthen foundational skills;

• study Qigong or standing practice;

• learn a particular Tai Chi form;

• prepare for future group programs;

• arrange lessons around changing work or family schedules.
