Tai Chi

Service Description

The class will start with Swinging Arms and Swinging Legs. This will distribute the chi (energy) and blood to the extremities of the body. Then we will work through the Five Gates, which will stimulate your major energy gates (joints). In Western terms this means activating the synovial fluid within the joints, which gives freer range of movement. We will continue with some gentle Chinese stretching, working with our breath. All practiced in a gentle flowing way. We will follow this by learning the famous, ancient, Chinese art of moving meditation - as it is known today in the West. In China, Tai Chi was also known for its skills as a martial art - with it being of the highest level, once upon a time.
