Tai Chi Relaxing Flow with Matthew Addison

Tai Chi (taiji) which loosely translates as “supreme ultimate”
, deriving from Tàijíquán (supreme ultimate fist)

Tai Chi was created as an all in one holistic exercise, pulling heavily from the aspects of Chinese philosophies, Qigong, Kung Fu, and meditation practices. It’s been said that Tai Chi is as good for you as CrossFit, with out the intensity and strenuous movement as normal exercises; Tai Chi is a full mind and body workout that will keep you fit and stress free.

Tai Chi has proven benefits to help with sleep, stress, blood pressure, immune system, joint pain and so much more backed by scientific research.

In Matt's class we will focus on the art of relaxing in to the stress of life, we will practice synchronizing our breath with our movements to create a practice of living consciously becoming more aware to the subtle ways of our body and the others we interact with, learning how to harmonize with the energies around us that attempt to unbalance us from our conscious state of mind. This practice reflects outward in our interactions with others be it physically or verbally; as within so without!
