What to expect
During these Qigong and Tai Chi classes we always start with gentle warm ups based on Daoist movements. Moving and mobilizing all parts of the body head to toe. We may do some self-massage to release the fascia and muscles of our bodies. Which is followed by a few simple Qigong (Dao Yin) exercises to get ready for deeper work.
Depending on the skills and abilities of the participant we may do some light strengthening exercises followed by either sitting or standing meditation. So we may start the real work with a loose body and clear mind.
I may ask the group if they would like to focus on any specific subject or areas of their body.
We may take it gently with practicing Qigong exercises and postural alignment or do some more dynamic Tai Chi Chuan step work and forms.
We finish every class with gratitude to our teachers, masters and our bodies to provide us with health and the ability and possibility to practice these ancient arts.
