Tai Chi Health Montral is a martial arts school located in Saint-Leonard, offering classes in Tai Chi Qigong to promote health and harmonize Yin and Yang energy. The school focuses on Tai Chi Chuan, also known as Taijiquan, which was developed by ancient Chinese warriors to improve health and prepare practitioners to face adversity. Tai Chi Chuan has been recognized by Eastern and Western medical professionals for its health benefits, evolving over centuries from the traditional 108-movement form to shorter versions such as the 24 and 48-posture forms which are popularly practised worldwide.
Originating from the Taoist Monastery on Wudang Mountain in China, Tai Chi harmonizes the mind-body connection, emphasizing relaxation, balance, and fluid mechanics of movement coordinated with breath. As an internal martial art, practitioners learn self-defence techniques and spiritual cultivation. Tai Chi also serves as a moving meditation, focusing on the flow of Yin and Yang energy through the body in motion or stillness, known as Qigong. Rooted in Taoism and the concept of Yin and Yang, Tai Chi's philosophy aims for harmony with nature and attaining physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
The school's teachings focus on Chi (Qi), the vital energy that permeates the universe. Understanding and balancing Chi is essential for health and vitality. Practitioners learn to listen to their internal and external energy flow, guiding movement, thoughts, and actions. Tai Chi Health Montral also offers Chi Kung (Qigong) classes, which delve deeper into the study of Chi within the human body, enhancing overall energy flow and promoting health and vitality.
Whether you are a beginner seeking to explore the benefits of Tai Chi for physical and mental well-being, or an experienced practitioner looking to deepen your practice and understanding of energy flow, Tai Chi Health Montral provides a welcoming and enriching environment for all levels of learners. Join us on a journey towards harmony and health through the practice of Tai Chi Qigong.
