Tai Chi
Welcome to the world of Tai Chi , where you can unlock the power of energy and balance to naturally support your life. These ancient exercise forms have been honed and perfected over thousands of years and are now practiced by millions of people worldwide.
Tai Chi offers a profound understanding of how the human body moves, allowing you to tap into its full potential. "Just like an Apple computer, Tai Chi appears simple and elegant on the surface, but beneath it lies a complex system that can transform your physical and mental well-being" (Bruce Frantzis)
Qigong
Qigong focuses on energy development and working with the energy of life, known as "qi" (pronounced chee). At its core, qigong involves the unblocking and harmonizing of qi within the body. According to Chinese medicine principles, when qi becomes blocked or stagnant, it can lead to various physical, mental, and emotional imbalances. On the other hand, when qi flows freely and smoothly throughout the body, it promotes vitality, resilience, and overall health.
There are numerous styles and forms of qigong, each with its own unique emphasis and approach. The choice of qigong style and practice can vary depending on an individual's specific needs. By focusing on various aspects of practice, such as posture, breath, and movement, qigong practitioners develop a strong foundation and can then integrate with other aspects to enhance their well-being.

Right Time to Learn
Embarking on a Tai Chi journey opens up a world of fresh sensations and challenges, particularly for those unaccustomed to coordinating various body parts harmoniously, which is less emphasized in Western culture. If you find yourself in a space where you are eager to explore new horizons and embrace the rewarding path of learning something new and challenging, then now may be the perfect time to delve into the transformative practice of Tai Chi.
What to wear
Comfortable clothing. Flat shoes. Tai chi is about balance and being able to feel where your weight is on your foot so flat shoes are the best.
