Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient martial arts and fitness regime using the Taoist principles of Yin and Yang to develop a healthy body and tranquil mind. Tai chi has an emphasis on relaxation and posture to achieve improved Qi flow through the meridians of the body. It is purported that focusing the mind solely on the movements of the form helps to bring about a state of mental calm and clarity. There are many general health benefits from practicing Tai Chi such as:
Tai Chi is practiced by performing a set of continuous moves, known as the Form. This flowing sequence of movements can last between 5 to 25 minutes ( depending on the form being practiced); and develops the practitioners physical skill and their health and wellbeing.
I teach Yang style Tai Chi, which is one of the five traditional family styles of Tai Chi. It is suitable for all ages and abilities.
