Tai Chi is an art based on ancient healing and martial practices which are heavily influenced by Chinese philosophy, such as Yin Yang.

Yin represents softness, calmness, gentleness, strength, brightness etc. while Yang represents hardness, strength, brightness etc.

Tai Chi consists of movements which flow from one to the next.

Tai Chi trains us to become more aware of the body.

This in turn trains the mind, enhancing its sharpness and clarity.

Gradually we find ourselves naturally applying the Tai Chi principles in every day life.

We learn to be more gentle and patient with ourselves and others.

We cultivate a healthy respect for our efforts in practicing Tai Chi as a part of our daily lives.

Tai Chi helps us to see the beauty of life and the importance of maintaining  a balance between the human and the environment , family and friends, work and leisure, and between the spiritual or inner dimension and the material world.

Tai Chi is called as meditation in motion.

It’s one of the only fitness programs where you meditate while exercising.

It is a philosophy of life that teaches us balance, moderation and respect for nature.
