Service Description

What is Tai Chi? Often known as “moving meditation,” tai chi is a series of slow, gentle motions that are patterned after movements in nature. Most of the work is performed while standing and taking small steps, though it can be modified for seated practitioners as well. Through continued and dedicated practice, tai chi offers many health benefits to the body, mind and spirit. Tai Chi form is a series of movements that work on the entire body in a flowing sequence. What is Qi Gong? Qi Gong is often referred to as the ‘internal’ portion of tai chi. It is an internal process that has external movements. Qi means “life force,” the energy that powers our body and spirit. Gong is the term meaning work or gather. Qi Gong together means a form of movement and mind using intention and mindfulness to guide Qi to make Qi work. Qi, then, is the type of energy that makes us feel alive. Practicing the same move over and over stimulates muscle, bone, heart, respiration and other functions in the body as shown through Qi Gong theory. Classes: Saturday 9AM - 10AM Thursdays 7:15PM
