Qi Gong is the umbrella term for Chinese slow and gentle breathing and movement for health, of which Tai Chi is a part.
This course is open to beginners or those who have learnt other forms of Qi Gong. It is suitable for all ages and abilities. We will be focusing on learning (or perfecting for returners) the Ba Duan Jin (8 Pieces of Brocade), with an Introduction to Silk Reeling Tai Chi moves.
It is possible to attend both the Qi Gong and Tai Chi classes, taking a short break in the middle if desired, during the Tai Chi warm-up exercises.
Qi Gong and Tai Chi help us relax and tune into the needs of our bodies and be mindful in our movements, resulting in better balance, less accidents and lower blood pressure.
