Class Descriptions
Tai Chi is an ancient art that combines slow movements with special breathing techniques to manage stress, and increase strength, balance and flexibility. Using the Lee Family Tai Chi form, this practice results in a mental and physical revitalization--a calming and an increased awareness--and improvement in spirit, mind, and body, including the core postural muscles. Tai Chi has been endorsed by the Arthritis Foundation as a way to relieve pain and achieve greater mobility.
Chi Kung (Qigong) is an meditative exercise system developed in China that focuses on cultivating one's "lifeforce" energies for health and well-being. Chi Kung comes from the Chinese words "Chi" meaning "Energy," and "Kung," meaning "work" or "practice." Chi Kung practice develops the mind, body and internal "Chi" through special techniques to regulate the breath, special postures to regulate the body, and quiet concentration to regulate the mind and one's awareness. Da Mo's 18 position form is introduced in this class.
