Tai Chi Chiang MaiTai Chi (Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Ch'uan, Taiji, Tijiiquan)Chiang Mai, Thailand Currently I teach group classes of the Yang 24 form of Tai Chi and I also give private lessons in the Yang 24, Yang 81, and Fan forms as well as Qi Gong (the Eight Brocades) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Classes are small, eight people is the maximum. Tai Chi literally means "Supreme Ultimate" and encompasses the belief that everything in the universe depends on the interaction between the polar opposites of Yin and Yang. Where Yin is represented by night, negative, soft, earth, intellectual and Yang by day, positive, hard, sky, physical. Tai Chi is a soft martial art using Ying and Yang to counteract each other. Tai Chi is the classic Chinese method of exercise for health, self-defense and spiritual growth. Graceful in movement, slow in tempo, relaxed yet dynamic in beautiful natural postures, Tai Chi is a "moving meditation" that rejuvenates the body, mind and spirit. The most immediate health benefits of Tai Chi practice are improved posture, flexibility, balance, circulation, metabolism, and neuro-muscular function, and a strengthened immune system. Tai Chi can be recommended to anyone, regardless of sex, age, health or level of fitness. Regular Tai Chi practice develops robust physical strength, concentration, emotional calm and serenity, and mental clarity.Web site: http://www.taichichiangmai.com |
