Tai Chi & Qigong are holistic body, mind, breath and movement practices originating from Chinese martial arts, health cultivation and meditation exercises.
About Tai Chi
Tai Chi or Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) is a Chinese ‘internal’ martial art, widely practised as a mind-body exercise for health and wellbeing – most people recognise the slow flowing  movement sequences or Tai Chi forms - Tai Chi refers to the concept of Yin & Yang (as in the Tai Chi symbol) - the word ‘Chuan’ translates as fist or boxing. Tai Chi is also practised as a form of Qigong.
About Qi Gong
Qi Gong (Chi Kung)  translates as ‘cultivation’ (gong) of ‘health, vitality or life energy’ (qi) and refers to a wide range of practices with the goal of cultivating and balancing vital energy and health - including mobilsing exercises, self-massage, posture practice, movement forms, breathing, visualisation and meditative exercises. 
Benefits
Tai Chi & Qigong can help open the body and release tension, improve co-ordination, mobility and increase mind-body-breath awareness – unifying the mind, body, breath and senses is the essence of the practice. The fluid and relaxed movements can promote health, strength and stamina in a less stressful manner than other forms of exercise – as such, it may be suitable for people of all ages, levels of health and fitness.
