This workshop brings together the Taoist Internal Arts of Chi-kung and the Vedic Yogic disciplines of flowing Vinyasa with the moving meditations of Yang Style T'ai Chi Chu'an. Participants will delve into a series of still poses, self-massage techniques and breath-work exercises, while concentrating on synchronizing breath in combination with energizing sequences of dynamic movement as part of the Chi-kung & Yoga component. Drill the basic postures and movement combinations of the T’ai Chi Chuan 37 short form to further set in motion the internal energy traveling through the body known as “Chi”.
As a healing element this flow of "Chi" energy increases circulation, calms the mind, relaxes the muscles and heals nervous, organic and skeletal problems, while learning to “sink”, “relax” and “yield.” Meditate through powerful movements that cultivate healing vital energy throughout the temple of the body, mind and spirit!
