Tai Chi and Qigong are ancient holistic health systems that unify the practitioner’s mind, body, spirit, and emotions by cultivating life energy (Chi or Qi), with synchronized breath and smooth relaxed movements. This mindful movement offering will address Tai Chi’s unified health model, by practicing breathing methods, mind focusing, Qi awareness techniques, basic Tai Chi qigong posturing, balancing, and stepping techniques. Participants of this program will benefit from relaxation, grounding, stagnation release, increased circulation, self awareness, and overall health and healing of the body’s diverse systems. Holistic wellness will be progressively assessed, adjusted, and systematically regulated as a result of engaging in this well balanced program.

This class is a continuation of the principles and foundations of balance, movement, relaxation, and flow learned from Tai Chi and Qigong 1. Students will be guided into higher levels of movement complexity, stylized postures, meditation, relaxation, grounding, and Qi energy aware- ness. Practitioners will also explore learning elements of the Yang style 24 Tai Chi Chuan routine. Completion of Tai Chi and Qigong 1 is a pre-requisite.
