Balance your life with Taiji & Qigong
 

  

Taijiquan (or Tai Chi Chuan) is an internal martial art, practiced for health of the body and mind.  A series of continuous soft and powerful movements represent different applications.  We increase our longevity, strength, and quality of life by harmonizing body and mind with proper Qi flow (a natural balance of yin and yang).  Tai Chi movements adhere to specific principles, or postural points, which guide our practice.

 

 

QiGong exercises condition the muscles, promote joint health, engage the brain, and leave us feeling rejuvenated and healthy using the Eastern concepts of Qi (life energy) cultivation and Yin/Yang (soft and hard) balance. 

 

 

Some of the specific benefits that Tai Chi & Qigong practitioners may enjoy include the following:

  • Relaxation/rejuvenation

  • Improves cardiovascular functions

  • Increases mobility

  • Body conditioning/strength

  • Engages the mind

  • Lowers blood pressure

  • Lowers cholesterol

  • Improves balance/reduces falls

  • Improves arthritis symptoms

  • Slows osteoporosis

 

Practicing these slow, fluid Eastern arts in a relaxed environment may also cause smiling!
