Tai Chi and Qigong are effective disciplines for exploring the connection between mind and body. Through a gentle sequence of movements, along with exercises in meditation, breathing, and physical conditioning you’ll develop increased alignment, balance, and coordination. You’ll move into greater flexibility and relaxation; clarity and calmness of mind; and sensitivity to your own internal world.
In this class, we train in the “Practical Method” Chen style of Tai Chi and Qigong, based on the pragmatic use of movements and a deep, physiological understanding of the practice’s healing and therapeutic potential.
