Relief from stress, relaxation and providing a gentle but effective form of exercise
Book Your Appointment TodayTai Chi translates as Supreme Ultimate and Qigong translates as energy work. Here at UTTSM Tai Chi we are not studying an ancient Martial Art fighting style. However, the movements we follow in the Shibashi Set have been taken from Tai Chi Chuan and have been developed, what we follow is the Lee family style.
Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi set is designed to improve the flow and balance of Qi in the body, leading to an improvement in the general health and well-being of the practitioner. The gentle rocking motions and stretching movements improve circulation and digestion. The chest exercises and controlled breathing are good for lung conditions and asthma. The overall effect of the set is to reduce mental stress and physical tension within the body.
Each movement has specific health benefits and the sequence is energetically balanced, we start each movement gently, allowing the body and breath to warm up. The body and breath are given time to harmonise which in turn help to release tension.
