Tai Chi & Qi Gong

Tai Chi is an internal martial art, known for its slow controled movements and elegant postures. It is considered a form of moving meditations, practiced for health and well-being aspects.

Qi Gong is another internal art and gentle meditation system. Its roots date back thousands of years as a sophisticated system for increasing awareness and control of one's lifeforce called qi. The Tai Chi classes uses Qi Gong to introduce students to the "internal" breath and qi building exercises. The exercises integrate the use of controlled breathing so that body movement, exertion, and exhalation spontaneously coincide. They define and add sensory awareness of body movement, shape balance, and coordination.

Tai Chi I focuses on Qi Gong, and introduces the Tai Chi form. Tai Chi II continues the Qi Gong exercises, but focuses on teaching the entire Yang Style Tai Chi 64 form. Tai Chi III also incorporates teaching advanced Tai Chi weapons forms, including the Tai Chi Straight Sword, Broad Sword, and Staff forms. New students are encouraged to begin with Tai Chi I and progress through the levels as their own pace.

All classes are held at the Spring Hill RECenter.
