Movement   

Tai Chi and Qigong are movement systems based on ancient Chinese medicine and martial arts. They combine slow, fluid movements with breathing and gentle stretching to improve balance and flexibility, increase energy, and improve overall sense of peace and wellbeing. Each session invites you to breathe deeply, move slowly, and cultivate inner calm. Whether you're new to these ancient practices or returning to deepen your experience, this class offers a peaceful space for relaxation, rejuvenation, and self-care. All levels welcome. Dress comfortably for movement.

Tai Chi-Qigong is a healing exercise for our body, opening blocked energy channels through proper posture, breath work, and advanced concentration within graceful movement. Through this practice the condition of cells, muscles, bones, and joints are strengthened and revitalized, improving the function of internal organs and intestines.

Tai Chi (TaeGeuk) is the principle of the cosmic energy cycle. When cosmic energy is created and eventually reaches its peak, instead of disappearing, the energy converts into a different type of energy, thereby continuing its lifecycle.

Qigong is the understanding and application of the Tai Chi principle into our lives. We can embrace the cosmic energy cycle and transform ourselves, leading a less self-centered and more altruistic, devoted life.

Tai Chi is a unique art, meaning "Grand Ultimate." It can be described in several different ways. It's a Chinese martial art, a system of slow-moving exercises that coordinate movement and breathing, and a philosophy. The benefits of practicing Tai Chi include improved balance, flexibility, strength, mental acuity, as well as general health and well-being. This program will focus on exercises that nourish the bones, internal organs, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The foundational Tai Chi Walking and the Yang Style short form will also be part of the program.

This class is designed to provide a whole-body restorative experience, particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing minor aches and pains in key mobilizing and stabilizing areas of the body. The warm-up will incorporate basic stabilization movements centered on corrective exercises. Following the warm-up, the class will consist of gentle static stretching and flexibility and mobility exercises to promote overall well-being.
