In-Person: Tai Chi – Meditation in Motion
with Tim Abshire
Wednesday, January 14th, 2026 | 5:00pm – 6:00pm
Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor
In the Insight, or vipassana, meditation tradition, we talk a lot about noticing the breath, but what about the rest of the body?
In fact, tai chi is often referred to as “meditation in motion.” This practice is one of slowing down while still feeling energized, and learning to relax our muscles while maintaining precision.
This practice is well-suited to do before sitting meditation—tai chi is one way to get in touch with the wholeness of the breathing body. Some benefits of tai chi include improved muscle strength, balance, and flexibility, and an increase in energy and focus.
Please note: the January 14 session of this series will be taught by Tim Abshire. All other sessions will be taught by Marijke Eliasberg.
All are welcome! No previous experience with tai chi is required to join the sessions. You are free to sign up for a single session, the whole series, or anything in-between. This series runs from January 7th through January 28th. Looking for more tai chi? Another series will run from February 4th through February 25th.
This offering is part of New York Insight’s Mindful Movement series.
