Tai-Chi is an ancient Chinese exercise, a very gentle form of meditation, sometimes called a walking or moving meditation. These graceful movements together with deep breathing and relaxation help to relieve stress and slow down a busy mind. This has a very calming and therapeutic effect on mind, body and spirit.
It is proven to help promote better, deeper sleep patterns as well as physical fitness including balance, co-ordination, flexibility and strength. Tai-Chi is also a beneficial practice for brain fitness; it increase the number of connections in the brains neural parthways as well as improving the flow of oxygen to the brain and body through deep breathing exercises.
Tai-Chi is a low impact form of exercise which will not put pressure on your bones and joints therefore suitable for all ages and all fitness levels.
Our Tai-Chi Master Michael Low has over 30 years of experience and will be teaching the yang style long form at our retreat over the summer months. Practising Tai-Chi Chuan (part one) in a social group setting to music in beautiful surroundings leaves you with the feel-good factor...
