Tai Chi Basics for Preventative Medicine

It is commonly known that tai chi is a slow form of studying kung fu martial arts. But I have discovered that any movement activity can be studied in a slow, tai chi way to help us deepen accuracy and clarity of any activity. Tai Chi is a philosophy and way of moving through the world that cultivates peace, spaciousness, and alert attention. This moving meditation practice is much more than the study of specific martial arts maneuvers. And this class will bring a creative, modern twist to the ancient traditions of this powerful preventative medicine practice. Cultivating a tai chi mindset is an excellent way to not only deepen relaxation in the body when under stress, but also to increase clarity and creativity.

The benefits of tai chi have been written about for centuries. It is a classic preventative medicine resource that is not just for martial arts students. Tai Chi is for everyone.

This fundamentals class will guide you through mind-body exercises that combine slow, graceful movements with restorative breathing. It is a gentle form of exercise that is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.

A regular Tai Chi practice can:

• Improved balance and coordination

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Increased flexibility and range of motion

• Improved strength and endurance

• Reduced muscle and joint pain

• Improved cardiovascular health

• Improved mental clarity and focus

• Increased energy levels

• Enhanced sleep quality

This class takes place in the backyard of a private residence in Glendale, CA. It does not require any special equipment. It is a great way to improve your overall health and well-being, and it can be a fun and relaxing way to spend your time.

We hope you join us!
