This class is suitable for beginners. The hour will consist of warm up exercises, Health Qigong (HQ) and Tai Chi. This year we are learning a new (to this group) HQ set – Ba Duan Jin. The gentle stretching movements offer many health benefits for the practitioner and are suitable for all levels and abilities. We will be continuing with the practice of Yang style 24 step Tai Chi form. Whether you are returning or new to Tai Chi this form will offer you many benefits for your health and wellbeing.
Health Qigong (HQ) is a wonderful Chinese system of exercise based on traditional Chinese medicine and also modern sport science and research. The set being learned is one of ten forms created by the Chinese Health Qigong Association (CHQA). Angela is an instructor member of the British Health Qigong Association (BHQA) and a senior instructor with Deyin Taijiquan Institute. For each of the HQ routines there are books/DVDs which can be bought to aid with self practice should you wish to do that. These can be bought from Tai Chi Link.
The second half of this session is dedicated to Tai Chi and in particular the popular Yang Style 24 step sometimes referred to as the simplified form. Experience of Tai Chi is not essential. We learn each move one at a time so if you start part way through it is still possible with time and practice to learn the previous moves as well. To aid you with that I have a video library facility on my website that is a useful resource for your own practice. A small monthly fee applies.
