Oh bummer! I just caught this. I practice Qigong, but would have liked to have participated in the Tai Chi practice on the beach. Very cool to introduce people for free to this type of martial arts that can be very beneficial for the mind, body, and soul.

You have more chances! Every Saturday at 9 am in summer & fall – it’s a standing item on our calendar and I don’t usually call it out in the morning preview, but the instructor sent a photo recently and that seemed like an occasion to bring it back up in the main-page highlights again. – TR

@ Eric – Caylen’s class always meets @ the Statue of Liberty unless there’s an event going on there. In that case, just walk farther south along the beach and you’ll find it.
