Slow down.
Get stronger.
Feel at home.
We're a volunteer-run Tai Chi club in Parksville, BC. Every week, dozens of neighbours meet at Knox United Church to practise the traditional 108-move set — and leave standing a little taller.
Parksville Shores Tai Chi Society is a registered nonprofit. All profit is donated back to charitable organizations in our community.
Five classes a week, one warm welcome
Slow is a kind of strength
The 108-move set is learned the way it has always been learned: one move at a time, in good company. Beginners spend four months becoming familiar with the sequence and the principles beneath it — foot placement, alignment, weight shifting, the arms following the body.
With continued practice comes balance, relaxation, and the quiet focus that members say follows them out the door. Classes cost $25 a month or $60 for three months, at Knox United Church in Parksville.
