How the Formal 12 Meridians & Qi are Related to Tai Chi Movements
Based on her long-term Tai Chi students’ requests, Dr. Hong Yang decided to create an online course. Incorporating her decades of study of the Tai Chi theory, Tai Chi philosophy, Tai Chi forms, and her doctoral research on the related traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for health promotion; she created this series of online lessons to help practitioners reach a higher level and deeper understanding of Tai Chi and Qigong.

The study of Tai Chi involves both external and internal practices. Among many factors that affect the internal study of tai chi, understanding both Qi and the energy channels of the body are essential. Understanding and embodying Tai Chi internals are fundamental to building and improving Tai Chi movements.

The course consists of 12 online class meetings. Each class meeting is 90 minutes and will introduce one of the 12 formal meridians and explain the relationship between the energy channel and at least one Tai Chi or Qigong movement. Dr. Yang will also share how these relationships affect general health and disease prevention. 
Each class has at least 15 minutes for Q&A to specifically help Tai Chi/Qigong practitioners at their own level of understanding and to improve their practice.

IMPORTANT NOTE: These online class meetings are LIVE. Please make sure you have all the Monday afternoons from 4 to 5:30 PM Pacific Standard Time available. No recordings will be sent if you miss a class, but PowerPoint can be sent upon request.
