    See details

    Ease into Tai Chi with a beginner-friendly class in Culver City guided by Sierra Holistic Collective. For more than a decade, this community has gathered on the grass at Dr. Paul Carlson Park to practice gentle, meditative movements that quiet the mind and support overall wellness. Instruction focuses on the Yang style, with thoughtful adjustments that promote balance and help prevent falls. No yoga mat is needed, and parking is free. If it rains, class is canceled. Dress for the weather and plan to hydrate afterward. Progress comes with patience, so it is normal to take time learning the sequence. Those who are pregnant or managing injuries or medical conditions should check with a doctor before attending. Offered at no cost by a nonprofit, with optional donations that help sustain the program. An online step-by-step course is also available to complement practice in the park.
