Tai Chi Forms Course
Interested in taking your Tai Chi to the next level?
About This Program
This course is perfect for anyone interested in learning a complete Tai Chi form—a series of connected, mindful movements. While taking our Tai Chi/ Qigong fundamentals class first is recommended, it is not required. In this course, you will learn a Yang Style Dong Family Simplified form created by Master Alex Dong, which is ideal for both beginner and intermediate students.
Each one-hour session will introduce new movements while reviewing previously taught steps to ensure clear understanding. Classes include detailed demonstrations, repetitions, and individual feedback. To ensure personalized guidance, registration is limited to 10 participants.
To get the most out of this practice, consistent attendance and home practice between classes are strongly recommended.
We look forward to welcoming you on your Tai Chi journey!
This program needs a minimum of 6 participants to run. The maximum is 10, and if the class fills we will keep a waiting list.
Who is Theresa?
Theresa Rogers is a Zen Wellness certified Qigong instructor and currently trains with Alex Dong's International Taijiquan Association of Tai Chi. Theresa is an advanced student of Senior Instructor Janet Briggs of East Wind Tai Chi in the practice of Yang Style Long form, Dong family Simplified, Advanced, Fast, and Sword forms and Kai-He/Hao form.
In 1987, Instructor Theresa received a BA from College of Atlantic in Human Ecology, the study of the connections between humans and their natural and physical environments. From 2001-2010, she was a regional champion and a national contender with USA Powerlifting, a drug-free strength sport federation.
With life-long interests in human ecology and physical fitness, Theresa says: "In 2014, I was fortunate to begin studying Qigong and Tai Chi with Master James Rath of the Taoist Arts Center in Nashua. The profound physical and mental benefits I experienced fostered centeredness in all areas of my life." After achieving instructor certifications, Theresa taught the restorative Qigong curriculum at the Toaist Arts Center until its closing.
In 2018 Theresa founded 7 Stars Qigong. She teaches independent classes in person and via zoom and also teaches several classes in partnership with the Town of Milford's Recreation Department.
Excited to share her knowledge and experience, Theresa looks forward to learning and teaching Qigong and Tai Chi for many, many years.
