What is tai chi?
Tai chi is a form of gentle exercise that encourages
a calm mind, balanced emotions and a strong body. When people say 'tai chi' they
typically mean tai chi for health.
Doctors believe that tai chi - with its ancient origins and incredible
health benefits - is the ideal form of exercise for modern people of all ages.
Not all
tai chi is equal. Just as there are different models of cars, makes of computers
and universities of varying calibres, so too are there different kinds of tai
chi.
(Bruce Frantzis)
Qigong
Students always start by learning qigong first. The simple qigong exercises
build strength, improve coordination and exercise the body. After a session you
feel at ease, energised and comfortable.
Explore a variety of exercises designed to cultivate the flow of blood and
oxygen around the body, as well as release tension within the muscles. Qigong
helps people relax and unwind.
Tai chi for health & fitness
Tai chi is a popular form of movement-based exercise. The art
requires low effort. No sweating. No exertion. No taxing the body.
As an exercise method it is moderate enough to
perform for the
rest of your life. It is joint-friendly, provides a gentle workout
and is sustainable.
Taijiquan
Taijiquan (supreme ultimate fist) is an advanced martial art based
upon ancient Chinese knowledge, biomechanics and the yin/yang principle. Some of
the training methods are slow, but many are not.
Authentic taijiquan practice follows specific guidelines. It is
fascinating, fun and mentally stimulating. Taijiquan teaches powerful,
functional skills, along with an in-depth philosophical background.
