Beijing Yang Taijiquan (The Evolution Of Taijiquan), and
2. Jinan Hong Taijiquan (The Application of Taijiquan) It seems Tai Chi may be an art that can not be summarized in one sentence. Since it's multi-faceted and does not have one specific meaning for all those who practice it, Tai Chi can be many different things to different people. Some see it as a moving-meditation, some as a loosening exe
rcise we do outside, some as a form of natural stress release, while others still practice it as a traditional Internal Martial Art system. As a method to de-stress, Tai Chi allows us to take charge, while letting-go! This unique skill training develops our ability to control our state naturally, transforming us into what our Tai Chi friends like to call a "Tai Chi Stress-Bender"! :)
Scientific research shows that this program can not only help ease arthritis pain and increase your joint flexibility, but also significantly improves physical and mental health through slow, gentle movements connected to our breathing. Both the Arthritis Foundation and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) recommend our Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention Program. This course has slow, gentle movements. It's even more effective for healing since there has been modifications so that anyone with arthritis could do it. It’s much more effective for healing than other types of physical activities, due to the low impact movements that can help ease pain in joints, while strengthening muscles that support the body, as we heal ourselves from injuries or illness. These modifications allow anyone who suffers from joint pain to participate fully without feeling restricted or endangered. Don't worry if you're a beginner!

What is Qigong?
氣 Qi literally means air and/or energy. We can say Qi is like the air we breathe, but it's so much more than that. It surrounds us and penetrates every part of our bodies. Our bodies are like batteries, if they’re not charged, they will not work. If we feel scattered or lethargic, it's a sign that our Qi needs to be replenished.
功 Gong means “Skill” developed from concentrated work over a considerable amount time. Qigong is the mindful training of harnessing or balancing our vital energy. We can say it’s kinda like Recharging Our Battery! In our Beginner Level Qigong course, you can expect to learn proper deep breathing technique and feel your internal energy (Qi). As infants, as soon as we are born, we naturally use abdominal or belly breathing which provides more energy storage than chest (or other) types of breathing do. You will also learn time tested movements to help you move and feel your energy, your Qi with diligent practice everyday. By the end of your first season of Qigong, you’ll notice more vitality, less stress and greater peace and tranquility in your life.
