Tai Chi Ch'uan : Improve Balance and Strengthen Legs
Welcome to a class involving a series of exercises using the principles of Tai Chi Ch’uan to increase mobility by relaxation, mindfulness, body awareness, aligning with gravity, and practise.
Ch’uan is ‘fist’ suggesting power, but with training and awareness your body remains ‘loose’. We relax and surrender to the ground, using gravity to hold us in balance. The power is effortless. We use the other person’s energy and strength, for effortless power. The stillness within can defeat the tense energy from the other.
Target Audience:
Those wanting to learn mindfulness of body in stillness and in movement. Great for older people.
