Tai Chi Qigong Classes

What is Tai Chi Qigong

TaiChiLogoSmall-tp.png

Tai Chi Qigong is a Chinese martial art. Initially developed for combat and self-defense, it has evolved into a form of exercise. As an exercise, tai chi 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 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.This is because we all perform 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.

Everybody knows their own body the best and aware how we are feeling on a particular day so you choose to either have a session that is a little more demanding or a little more leisurely.

The outcome is calming, satisfying and hopefully rewarding.
