What are the benefits of Tai Chi/Qigong?

The gentle slow movements stimulate the meridian system of the body helping to:

• Calm the mind, reducing stress and anxiety
• Improve blood circulation and restores energy
• Increase strength and mobility
• Cleanse the body of toxins, clearing inflammation, heat and stagnation
• Create a positive state of wellbeing

Learn simple flowing sets of movements for the different organ groups of the body: Spleen, Lungs, Kidney, Liver and Heart which relate to the five elements - Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire. These gentle but powerful mindful movements will help start you on your own journey of physical healing, emotional and spiritual growth.
