Combining Tai Chi and Qi Gong, Tai Qi Easy is a simple and profound way to cultivate Qi. In this 4 part class, Join Liz Geran as she shows you how to incorporate Tai Qi into your daily routine. Tai Chi Easy takes five of the traditional movements from Tai Chi and performs them either seated or in a stationary standing position. As the process advances the movements can be combined with Tai Chi Walking. When the movements, whether two or three or ten, are done in such a way they are repeated to create a set or form, it is called Tai Chi Qi Gong. Practicing Tai Chi Easy triggers key physiological and psychological health benefits:
1. Stress Relief– Induces a relaxed, meditative state of mind that helps relieve stress.
2. Balance– Emphasis on good posture and shifting weight from foot to foot improves balance.
3. Heart Health–Lowers your heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and increases circulation by dilating the blood vessels.
4. Immune Boost –Gets your lymph flowing, eliminating waste and toxins and carrying specialized immune cells to fight disease.
5. Mental Focus— Calms the mind by slowing down brain wave patterns and improving focus and attention. Tai Chi Easy uses the power of healing imagery and affirmation and promotes a positive frame of mind.
