A 4-Day Intensive Summer Workshop

Experience the Power, Precision, and Internal Energy of Traditional Chen Style Tai Chi

Join us for an immersive 4-day summer intensive dedicated entirely to Chen Style Tai Chi 56. By focusing exclusively on one system throughout all four mornings, this workshop offers participants the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of Chen Style’s unique principles, movement quality, and internal power.

This workshop is open to all levels. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, you will find a path to growth here. With two instructors present, we provide personalized guidance for everyone—supporting newcomers through the foundations while helping experienced practitioners refine their technique, body mechanics, and internal awareness.
