| B | Chan Si Gong Silk Reeling Energy Saturday 22nd
June
Suitable for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced |
Silk Reeling Energy is
considered to be the alphabet of Tai Chi. It enables both
knowledge and progress in Tai Chi to be realised. Chen Si
Gong develops inner strength through the circulation of
our Chi vital energy. Like the unreeling of the delicate silk thread from its cocoon, Chi circulation must be smooth and unbrooken. Understanding the Chi path within our bodies combined with correct postures together are vital to the proper practice of Tai Chi. The importance of this concept and the correct postures will be explained and shown demonstrating how to get the Chi circulating smoothly. |

This is the original Taiji form as practiced in the Chenjiagou village (the home of Taiji). All of today’s major Taiji styles can trace back their origin to this old form.

Sounds Qigong Wednesday
26th June
Suitable for Beginners and those with Previous Knowledge & Experience |
Each Qigong exercise gently streches the body, calms the mind, improves blood circulation and facilitates the free flowing of Chi within each of the organs in our bodies. When Chi and blood flow freely, our body's natural defence and self healing capabilities are strengthened. Mental and physical relaxation is developed whilst improving the function of our central nervous system. After performing this Qigong, one can feel re-energised, more positive and ready to cope with the pressures of life. | ||||
