About the class

The Yang style 24 Form was created in 1956 by four Chinese Tai Chi masters to provide a shorter, standardized form which was promoted throughout China as an exercise for everyone. It is believed to be the most practiced tai chi form in the world. Experienced students or recommended by instructor only. If new to Tai Chi or at beginner level, please sign up for the Beginning Tai Chi for Arthritis class. Instructor, Cathy Williamson, has been practicing tai chi for more than 20 years and has personally trained with Dr Paul Lam. She is a board certified instructor with the Tai Chi for Health Institute.

The Sonoma Community Center is committed to creating an accessible learning environment. If you require any special considerations(medical, physical, learning) please share them with Sean Baskin, Program Associate, by emailing him at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org so that he can forward them to the relevant Program Director and Instructor.

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class. 

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee, or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

Late additions to any program, class, or workshop that has already begun will be allowed on a per-case basis depending upon the Program Director & instructors approval.
