What are Tai Chi and Qigong?
Tai Chi and Qigong are ancient Chinese practices that focus on slow, controlled movements combined with deep breathing. These gentle exercises are great for improving balance, flexibility, and overall wellbeing. They are designed to relax the mind, while also strengthening the body.
The Benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong
- Reduce Stress and Anxiety: The flowing movements and breath work help to calm the nervous system, easing stress and promoting mental clarity.
- Improve Balance and Flexibility: Tai Chi and Qigong are known for enhancing coordination, reducing the risk of falls, and increasing range of motion.
- Support Mobility and Strength: These low-impact movements gently build muscle strength and improve joint mobility.
- Boost Energy and Wellbeing: By practicing regularly, you’ll feel more energized, centered, and physically capable.
