In-Person: Tai Chi – Meditation in Motion

In-Person: Tai Chi – Meditation in Motion

with Marijke Eliasberg

Wednesday, November 25th, 2026 | 5:30pm – 6:30pm

Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor

In the Insight, or vipassana, meditation tradition, we talk a lot about noticing the breath, but what about the rest of the body?

In fact, tai chi is often referred to as “meditation in motion.” This practice is one of slowing down while still feeling energized, and learning to relax our muscles while maintaining precision.

Based on the Yang Style 60-postures Short Form from Great Grandmaster William C. C. Chen, this class will introduce you to the foundation of tai chi and the first 20 postures of his form.

This practice is well-suited to do before sitting meditation—tai chi is one way to get in touch with the wholeness of the breathing body. Some benefits of tai chi include improved muscle strength, balance, and flexibility, and an increase in energy and focus.

All are welcome! No previous experience with tai chi is required to join the sessions.

These classes take place weekly on Wednesdays. The form below shows classes for November 2026. View and sign up for other upcoming sessions here (www.nyimc.org/events/category/tai-chi).

This offering is part of New York Insight’s Mindful Movement series.
