The event will take place from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Hameetman Center Multi-Purpose Room on the second floor. Although the official observance of World Tai Chi and Qigong Day falls on April 25, organizers opted to hold their celebration one day later to accommodate schedules.
Tai chi, a gentle martial art and movement practice, is widely recognized for promoting balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. The Caltech Tai Chi Club aims to make these benefits accessible through a welcoming and beginner-friendly environment.
Attendees can expect introductory lessons in both tai chi and qigong, along with live demonstrations and a group performance featuring the club’s main form. The event is designed to be inclusive, with no prior experience required.
In addition to the programming, complimentary smoothies and snacks will be provided. Organizers encourage those interested to confirm their attendance in advance (at this link) to help plan food quantities and accommodate dietary needs.
The event is free and open to anyone curious about learning tai chi or simply looking for a relaxing and engaging community activity.
