Julio Cortes is a movement teacher with over 30 years of martial and movement arts experience, specializing in Taijiquan.

The last three are what it is best known for now.

In this class, students will develop greater body/mind awareness, strength, a range of motion, coordination, and balance while learning how to move gracefully. Specifically, we will practice a basic warm-up and learn the first set of a powerful and rare long-form taught in Asia. Suitable for any age and body condition, this a great opportunity to learn one of the best regarded and most popular bodies/mind practices in the world.
