Tai Chi (taijiquan) and Qigong are ancient Chinese practices that involve slow, graceful movements, steady breathing, and an open awareness, providing physical, mental, and emotional benefits to individuals of all ages and fitness levels. These practices have been proven to improve balance, flexibility, cognitive function, and also to reduce stress and anxiety. Tai Chi and Qigong can also boost the immune system and promote overall well-being leading to a greater sense of relaxation, revitalization, and renewal after each session.

Standing meditation, also known as Zhan Zhuang, has been described as the secret of the martial arts by many practitioners and experts in the field and is believed to be the key to developing strong internal energy, or Qi. 

In the Qigong walking meditation, we focus on our breath, and the sensation of our feet on the ground. This practice involves taking slow and deliberate steps, while maintaining a calm and centered mind. In addition to the benefits of qigong standing meditation practice, qigong walking meditation also provides physical exercise and improves circulation, balance, and coordination. 

One of the most important keys in Tai Chi is the Taoist principle that softness overcomes hardness, yet it is one of the most neglected when put into action. We will learn to practice softness in daily life, even when getting dressed, making breakfast, or typing an email. It can be extraordinarily relaxing, rejuvenating and nurturing. 

Tai chi needs no equipment and can be done in a very small space. 

If you don’t devote 
your daily practice 
to complete relaxation 
you’ll never get it.

You must achieve relaxation, 
but without forcing it. 

When you practice, 
think of relaxation, 
the concept or even the word, 
with your whole heart and mind. 

Li Yaxuan, Tai Chi Chuan master (1893-1976)
