Benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong

Tai chi and qigong are ancient Chinese wellness practices, often known as moving meditations as they combine a unique focus on body, breath and mind.

The gentle and flowing movements cultivate integration of the mind and body. With regular practice one soon notices an improvement in internal body functions as well as increased vitality, and a wonderful sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

Scientific studies have shown that Tai Chi and qigong improves and/or prevents many chronic conditions while improving balance and reducing stress. Numerous studies have also shown that they improve muscular strength, flexibility and relieve pain – resulting in an improved quality of life. Regular practice has also been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of falls.

Tai Chi and qigong can be practiced by people of almost all ages and physical conditions and are recommended by medical and scientific institutions throughout the world. Harvard Medical School has been researching and promoting the benefits of tai chi for many years.
