School Curriculum

Still Mountain seeks to cultivate the entire person and not just strengthen the body through martial practice. T'ai Chi, in its purest form, embodies martial, health, and spiritual training, and the school strives to actualize this true spirit of T'ai Chi.

The goal of T’ai Chi play is to harmonize the internal and the external-- coordinating mindfulness, breathing, and physical movement so that the practitioner achieves a sense of wholeness and balance. The process of integrating the internal and external for overall health and well-being is the principle aim of Still Mountain’s T’ai Chi philosophy.
