22/8/24 ~ Why is Tai Chi so good for you?

More and more people are beginning to learn the benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong.

Rooted in martial arts from China, it is slowed down into gentle flowing movements to help improve our breathing, circulation, spatial awareness, strength and balance. It is beautiful and soothing to watch and practice.

What’s more, both disciplines of this low impact exercise are accessible to pretty much anybody and can be adapted to be done both standing and seated.

While Qigong can be easier to learn, it builds up a great foundation to learn the Tai Chi form, which includes more intricate movements – and practice makes perfect!

As we learn, repeat and follow the movements, we get our brain and body working and it all helps with coordination too.

Extensive research has been carried out into the beneficial effects of Tai Chi for cancer patients, Parkinson’s Disease, fibromyalgia, cardiac conditions, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and more.

It has also been used for around 20 years in UK hospitals for cardiac rehabilitation.

We are pleased to be able to offer beginners’ Tai Chi classes with Qigong in both the Sleaford area and Coningsby and can also provide 1 to 1 sessions in person or online. Do contact us to find out more or click here.
