Summer Session
Thursdays, 5:30–6:30 pm
June 18 – September 10
Poe Field
For all Princeton students, faculty, and staff.
Join us on Thursday evenings on Poe Field, for free instruction in Tai Chi — a moving meditation that calms the mind and relaxes the body. Beginners and drop-ins welcome any time.
One of the benefits of Tai Chi is relaxation in action, also the title of a recent book [full PDF here] by Master Wonchull Park, the club’s teacher and a Princeton physicist. Through relaxation in action, we can apply the benefit of relaxation in everything we do, from comfortably working on a computer to performance in sports.
As a Taoist martial art, Tai Chi encourages us to move naturally and effortlessly—embracing the principle of wuwei, or “not-doing” so that we “just do it” without interference in our own flow. Practicing Tai Chi can improve physical performance, mental focus, and our ability to stay relaxed and resilient even during busy days and challenging goals.
Beginners and drop-ins are welcome at any time.
Freely offered to the Princeton University community by the Princeton Tai Chi Club.
This event is open to all Princeton University students, faculty, and staff regardless of identity.
