Sessions
Tai Chi Gung classes in Billerica, MA meet three times a week at First Congregational Church, 18 Andover Road, Billerica, MA 01821, on the 2nd Floor in Dale Hall. Through the warm weather months there is a fourth class on Friday mornings, held outdoors at the Peggy Hannon-Rizza Recreation Complex. Each class is $15 for the hour, your first class is free, and monthly and punch-card options bring the cost down if you come regularly. Beginners are welcome at every session, and Esmeralda also teaches private one-to-one and corporate sessions.
The core practice, done standing: our four main Yin movements plus the more active Yang exercises. One hour of gentle, flowing movement and focused breathing, taught so beginners and experienced practitioners can work side by side.
Seated Tai Chi Gung for seniors and anyone working with limited mobility. Chair exercises build leg strength, balance, and mobility before you progress to the standing exercises.
We hold weekly and bi-weekly classes year-round in Dale Hall at the First Congregational Church in Billerica, MA.

No experience is needed. Every class is taught so a first-timer can follow along, and the movements are slow, gentle, and repeated each week, so you learn them by doing them. Tai Chi Gung has three levels of activity — Chair Yoga, Yin, and Yang — and you work at whichever level fits your body right now.
Yes. The chair exercise classes exist for exactly this. You do the movements from a seated position, building leg strength, balance, and mobility, and you progress to the standing exercises when you feel ready. Tai Chi Gung is for all ages and all fitness levels, and no one is pushed past what their body can do.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing you can move and breathe in, with flat, flexible shoes — or practice in bare feet. The movements are slow and gentle, so you won't need a mat or any special gear. Bring water if you like.
Dale Hall is on the 2nd floor of First Congregational Church, 18 Andover Road, Billerica, MA 01821. Use the side door of the building, where there is an elevator up to the second floor, so you do not have to take the stairs. If you have trouble finding the room on your first visit, call Esmeralda at 978-580-9631.
You don't lose anything. The punch card is prepaid at $15 per class and only gets punched when you attend, so a missed week simply means the card lasts longer. Every 6th class on the card is free.
Yes. Esmeralda takes private students one-to-one for $35 an hour, at any level of mobility, covering the Yin and Yang exercises and the chair movements.
