Tai Chi is often described as meditation in motion. This is because it promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements.
The practice has evolved from it's origins as a martial art into a graceful form of exercise. Participants perform a series of movements in a slow, focused manner. The movements are accompanied by deep, slow breathing. Each posture flows into the next and the body is constantly moving. The slow, flowing movement and body awareness brings focus. It also helps to combat tension.
Qi Gong is an internal practice which underlies the execution of Tai Chi, that is to say the mind leads the body. It is slow, soft, steady, stable, and silent, which has a calming effect on tension and anxiety.
Level: Suitable for all
