Tai chi and Qigong are ancient Chinese methods of transforming our own personal energy into something positive.
They consist of gentle and flowing exercises, designed to improve the well-being, overall health and vitality of the practitioner and develop the powers of the mind, cultivating a focused state of relaxed awareness and a wonderful feeling of harmony, tranquility, and peace.
The sensitivity in the palms is increased, so that the practitioner actually feels the energy in their hands.
Many traditional training forms are practiced, some of them with relatively slow movement.
Everyone may participate safely, regardless of age or level of fitness.
No former experience of any kind is needed.
