Institution:

Landmark College

Subject:

Description:

Sports In this one credit course, students will learn the Yang Style Short Form. The entire form consists of 37 sequential postures. The class will focus on the first third of the form while exploring the basic principles that underlie this meditative practice. The goal of the class is to help students focus on their own inner activity, develop a greater sense of being centered in the world, and to discover a system that promotes overall health. Students must be willing to participate in a slow moving, silent, meditative practice. The course will not include any required reading, but references to Taoist philosophy (Lao-Tzu) and commentaries by T'ai Chi masters will be an integral part of the class.
