What is T'ai Chi and Chi Kung?

T’ai Chi and Chi Kung are ancient methods of connecting with the energy (known as chi) that flows within and outside our bodies.

The use of simple and gentle physical movements and meditation techniques allows us to slow down and experience the chi that is all around us. Once there we can begin to:

• Let go of physical and emotional stress
• Strengthen our bodies and alleviate aches and pains
• Achieve a sense of calm and well being
• Feel healthier and more energized Re-connect to the cycles of the natural world
