Enjoy a beginner friendly tai chi class set on the grass with ocean views. Led by Sierra Holistic Collective, which has supported the San Pedro community for over a decade, the session focuses on easing stress, calming the mind, and renewing energy through slow, flowing sequences with a meditative focus. Instruction follows the Yang style with thoughtful adjustments to support balance and help prevent falls. The class takes place outdoors, so dressing for the weather is recommended. There is ample free parking, and sessions are cancelled when it rains. No mat is required, and drinking water afterward is encouraged. Learning tai chi unfolds gradually, and it is normal to need time and patience as the movements become familiar. Anyone who is pregnant or managing injuries or health conditions should consult a medical professional beforehand. These beginner sessions are offered free through a nonprofit, with optional donations that help sustain programs that reduce stress, support emotional well-being, and promote mental and physical health. An online, step by step course for newcomers is also available to complement practice in the park.
