Course description
Often described as ‘meditation in motion’, the ancient art of Tai Chi has been practiced for many centuries as a method of improving health and wellbeing. The gentle movements are designed to restore balance to the nervous, digestive and immune systems.
Tai Chi also lowers blood pressure and some believe that it can increase longevity. It is gentle on the joints and not strenuous so it won’t make you perspire or leave you out of breath, but will stimulate the mind, calm the nerves and help to keep you fit.
This course, run by Di Qiang – one of the nineteenth-generation of esteemed Chen Tai Chi masters – will follow the traditional Chen style Tai Chi which combines the theory of Yin and Yang, Taoist doctrine and classic martial arts routines.
Course requirements
No previous knowledge of Tai Chi is necessary. Ideal for beginners and post-beginners.
Make the most of your lunch hour by leaving your desk or study room and joining the Confucius Institute for a calming session that will leave you feeling peaceful and restored.
