Join Master Kuan Chen as he leads you through the practice of Tai Chi Chuan. This 2 hour workshop will dive into the physical movements and benefits of this centuries old practice.
Tai Chi Chuan is a traditional Chinese “internal martial art” that was developed centuries ago for both its self-defense training and its health benefits. Today it is primarily practiced for health and fitness. It combines slow and gentle movements with mental focus. In addition, it combines physical exercise and relaxation techniques rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy. It has been practiced in China for hundreds of years and is now widely practiced throughout the world. It has been estimated that over 100 million people regularly practice Tai Chi in China alone. It has become increasingly popular as a form of exercise in the United States over the past 10 years.
Tai Chi improves health by promoting changes in mental focus, breathing, coordination and relaxation. The goal of Tai Chi is to “rebalance” the body’s own healing capacity. During exercise, individuals are taught to be mindful of what their bodies are doing and how they feel. Precise movements and body awareness characterize Tai Chi as a “meditation in motion,” evoking a mind-body connection. It helps people bring their mind into a zone of calm and clarity. It has been used as part of traditional Chinese medicine for many years and has recently become the focus of scientific research regarding its health benefits.
