What are Tai Chi and Qigong?

Tai Chi is a dynamic form of moving meditation which helps bring about calm and peace of mind whilst gently exercising the whole body. It stresses the principles of relaxation and yielding, and the cultivation of inner strength and harmony of both body and mind.  The practice of this art brings us into balance with ourselves and those around us.  It is a form of internal martial art.

The practice of Tai Chi emerged initially within China during the 14th Century and is now widely practised and taught in every major country of the world. It’s principles and methods make it readily accessible to people of all ages and ability.

Qigong literally means "energy work" and is a form of exercise emphasising deep relaxed breathing and slow movement.  It is one of the best methods for reducing the effects of stress and harmonising the flow of Qi within and around the body.
