About the event

Qigong and Tai Chi Basics: Finding Balance and Well-Being at the Confluence of Body, Breath and Mind
Qigong consists of various Chinese therapeutic exercises designed to align body, breath, and mind in a manner that brings about optimal health as well as physical and emotional balance.

Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art usually done in a slow, dance-like manner designed to train our ability to maintain balance and composure when challenged. Research suggests that regular Tai Chi practice can improve strength and balance, reinforce respiratory, cardiovascular and immune systems, sharpen the mind, and reduce stress.

In the retreat you will learn a Qigong set and some fundamental Tai Chi movements. Handouts and access to a video will be made available to participants. There will also be a brief overview of how Chinese medicine and philosophy inform Qigong and Tai Chi, as well as a short introduction to standing, seated, and lying meditation. In addition, several Chinese teas will be made available to sample over the weekend.
