What is Tai Chi Qigong

TaiChiLogoSmall-tp.png

Tai Chi Qigong is a form of exercise. It is performed as gentle, low-impact movement in which participants perform a series of intentional, flowing motions while focusing on deep, slow breaths. Often referred to as "meditation in motion", tai chi qigong aims to concentrate and balance the body's believed 'qi', providing benefits to mental and physical health.

Our Classes are unique

Our classes are unique because they are appropriate for all levels of mobility and fitness and may be completed standing or sitting because everyone performs the identical movements. 

We do our Tai Chi Qigong sessions always involving 3 aspects:

  • BREATHWORK - we give some attention to how we’re breathing,
  • BODYWORK - moving and at rest we get the chance to discover areas of tension in the body and relax them, including a little bit of self massage,
  • MINDFULNESS - as we stay present and pay attention to what the breath and the body are doing.

You can opt to have a session that is a little more demanding or a little more relaxed because everyone is the greatest judge of their own body and knows how they are feeling on any given day.

The result is soothing, fulfilling, and beneficial.
