Embrace The Moon Taijiquan & Qigong welcomes special guest Master Jan Silberstorff to Seattle, WA. This year, Jan will take us deep into the first five movements of Taijiquan. We will begin with standing correction & a lecture on the main principles of Taijiquan. Then, he will review the Silk Reeling and Dantien movements, leading into correcting the postures of each of the 5 movements. Finally, students will have an opportunity to expand their experience into the application of these movements and how they can help us with push hands. Time permitting we will see how what we have learned is reflected throughout the longer sequences of our Taiji. This workshop will deepen both your understanding of the physical nature of the practice and the meditative qualities, furthering your personal relationship with Taijiquan. All levels of experience are most welcome, including beginners and those from other styles. Jan became the first Western indoor student and family disciple of Grandmaster Chen Xiao Wang in 1993 and now teaches in 15 countries around the world as a 20th Generation successor of the Chen family. Recommended reading is the recent English translation of one of Jan’s inspiring books recently translated into English: Chen: Living Taijiquan in the Classical Style.
