Come for 30 minutes of Taiji "Silk-Reeling Exercises, a set of repetitive spiral movements and joint rotations that relax the muscles and increase joint mobility. They emphasize rootedness, alignment and sinking. Comfortable and loose fitting clothing recommended. Then stay for an afternoon slow-down of casual conversation and tea sampling.

Taiji and Tea Tasting will be hosted by Ruby Creative Resident, VC Tang!

*This is an intimate event for Ruby members*
