Why Should You Be Doing Tai Chi & Qigong During Quarantine?

“Social Distancing” is Self-Care and Health Care

Why is slow motion like Tai Chi  and Qigong so healing for the human physical body and emotion?

Tai Chi’s deliberate, slow movement activates inner-self connection that helps us to disengage from DOING to BEING,  and it transforms our entire being into a form of Moving Meditation.  

What is Qigong (Cheegung) ?

Qi (chee) means breath of life or vital energy that flows through everything in the universe. Gong (gung) means working with or cultivating.

Qigong is a 5,000-year-old mind-body practice that develops vital energy by integrating movement, breathing techniques, and mental focus. Qigong is a series of Tai Chi movements that are gentle, flowing, meditative and self-healing. It can be done sitting or standing for people of every age and physical condition.

Tai Chi is a Chinese Martial art of stylized meditative exercise, slow circular and stretching movements.

 What can Qigong Tai Chi do for you?

  • Decrease stress, promotes relaxation and inner peace

  • Reduce anxiety, and depression, regulates blood pressure

  • Reduce chronic pain (effective for Arthritis)

  • Inspire creativity, boosts the immune system and promotes healing
