Tai Chi & Qi Gong for Wellbeing
Starter Course
Tai Chi is often described as meditation in motion. This is because it promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements. The movements are accompanied by deep, slow breathing. Each posture flows into the next and the body is constantly moving. The slow, flowing movement and body awareness brings focus. It also helps to combat tension.
Qi Gong is an internal practice which underlies the execution of Tai Chi, that is to say the mind leads the body. It is slow, soft, steady, stable, and silent, which has a calming effect on tension and anxiety.
