“Today we are flooded with fake images that we mistake as real, and just as many real images that seem utterly unbelievable. Truth and fiction are becoming almost indistinguishable—but were they ever?” - Jessica D. Brier, Curator

Yang Style Long Form with Martha Cheo

A slow, flowing sequence of 108 postures, this traditional form has been passed down through generations of Tai Chi Masters.  Tai Chi promotes balance, alignment, coordination, strength, flexibility, body awareness, circulation, immunity, and relaxation. It is largely practiced for health and fitness but becomes a martial art when internal abilities are developed with practice.  Weekly attendance is recommended because the sequence of moves is taught step by step; each class builds upon the previous one.  $15 per class ($13 for New Paltz residents) or $12 per class if you pay for a 2 month series ($10 for New Paltz residents).

While these classes are not for beginners, students are welcome to try out a class, follow along and catch up gradually. Beginner classes sometimes offered at the Living Seed in New Paltz.

Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:15pm. (Community Center or Field of Dreams in warmer weather)
