Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that integrates both the mind and body, known as the “ultimate exercise. ” At Mindful Tai Chi, Tai Chi is practised as a form of exercise and meditation combined, with an emphasis on slow, relaxed, and balanced movements. These movements, known as 'THE FORM,' require practise and patience to perfect, focusing on accuracy, control, stillness, lightness, relaxation, and mental focus.
Classes at Mindful Tai Chi begin with CHI GUNG exercises, which aim to bring awareness to the body, relax the muscles, regulate breathing, and prepare students for THE FORM. The second half of the session is dedicated to learning the movements of THE FORM, which are performed in a predetermined sequence with precision and control.
In addition to regular classes, Mindful Tai Chi also offers workshops for corporate and educational fields, as well as for Tai Chi students interested in learning advanced forms such as the Long Form, Broadsword, Spear, Push Hands, and the original Fast Form.
