Are you looking for a way to move your body, calm your mind, and reconnect with your inner balance? Whether you're seeking better health, stress relief, or simply a new way to be more present, Tai Chi and Qigong offer a beautiful path forward.
At our weekly class, we combine the flowing movements of Tai Chi with the gentle energy cultivation of Qigong to create a deeply relaxing, restorative experience for the body and mind.
🌀 Why Tai Chi and Qigong?
Both Tai Chi and Qigong are ancient Chinese practices that harmonize body, breath, and awareness. Originally developed for martial arts and healing, they are now widely embraced as powerful forms of moving meditation.
Tai Chi is known for its slow, flowing, and graceful movements that build strength, balance, and focus.
Qigong centers on breath, intention, and gentle movement to balance the body’s internal energy—what the Chinese call Qi (life force).
Together, these practices offer an accessible, holistic approach to wellness that anyone can benefit from—regardless of age or experience level.
