All times are local to the venue · America/New York
Ten one-hour classes give beginners a chance to study tai chi across the winter at Atlanta Botanical Garden. Instructor Mali Harrell leads Tai Chi – Beginner – Quarter I from January through March 2027.
The Garden presents tai chi as a Chinese martial art intended to increase flexibility and balance. This course is designated for beginners; the Garden also lists a separate intermediate Quarter I course, so check the course title when registering.
The series meets on Saturday mornings, with two breaks during the quarter: there is no class on January 23 or February 13. Anyone with questions about physical requirements or the movements involved can contact the Garden’s education team before registering.
