DESCRIPTION:Wed 09:00-10:00 + Fri 09:00-10:30 (2 times/week)\nChen style Ta
 ijiquan is the original form of Taijiquan\, developed hundreds of years ag
 o in the Chen family village of northern China. Historically held secret a
 nd passed only from father to son within the Chen family\, this method was
  taught more openly beginning in the 20th century\, and the form we practi
 ce is from the root of the family tree. It emphasizes clear expression of 
 the principals of yin and yang\, containing movements that are large and s
 mall\, fast and slow\, soft and hard\, and involving both the inner and ou
 ter landscapes of the body.\nThis class is offered at $85/month – drop-i
 n classes are not conducive to progress\, but can be accommodated at $20/c
 lass you attend.\nWed 10:00-11:00 + Fri 10:35-11:40 (2 times/week)\nYang s
 tyle Taijiquan is the first child of Chen style\, and embodies many of th
 e same principles\, but in different ways. Its progenitor\, Yang LuChan\, 
 was an experienced martial artist who became a student of one of the Chen 
 family branches\, and later transmitted his knowledge to his own sons and
   beyond the Chen village. This is a rare form from one of Yang’s sons
 \, close to the original source. Speaking very generally\, the Yang style 
 form expresses movement in a soft and flowing manner\, and contains many b
 enefits for health and longevity. \nThis class is offered at $70/month –
  drop-in classes are not conducive to progress\, but can be accommodated a
 t $20/class you attend.\n\n-------- \nClasses are progressive and focused
  on participation\, and allow for students from varied levels of experienc
 e – join in anytime! There will be periods of both movement and stillnes
