Session Outline

Tai Chi & Qigong are an ancient internal Chinese health system using slow, flowing movements and natural breathing techniques to promote health. The slow movements can be adapted to be suitable for all participants at all levels of physical ability.

 

Although the movements are slow and gentle, they can improve the key components of fitness; muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and the ability to control breathing patterns to reduce stress.

Sessions will include;

• Simple movements to loosen the body and help strengthen the muscles and joints.

• Movements to help stimulate the lymphatic system

• Various Qigong sets to build the link between the central nervous system and the limbs to increase balance and boost energy levels

• Practice of a short Tai Chi form for relaxation and to help alleviate stress.
