Course Contents


The Center of Power curriculum offers an educational framework that allows a participant to study at their own pace. It encompasses a vast array of philosophical, theoretical and practice principles – a toolbox to nourish body, mind and spirit.


Perspectives presented are derived from the Tai Chi Classics — a compendium of core writings and teachings passed down through the centuries. There are also additional teachings stemming from Chinese Medicine, Chinese Medical Qigong and the Ancient Daoist Internal Arts.


The 24 experiential exercises are deigned to enhance physical and energetic development. Students learn how energy moves through the body and the importance of proper positioning to keep qi (vital energy) flowing freely throughout every aspect of their being.


The major exercise portion includes Seven Taiji Prep Workouts and the Guang Ping Yang Style Taiji Form consisting of 130+ videos and written instructions.
