Tai Chi for Rehabilitation

 

What is tai chi?

Tai chi originated in ancient China; it improves health and wellness and is practiced throughout the world. There are many forms of tai chi with significant differences to each other. Each form and style has its own special features. Tai Chi for Rehabilitation is designed so that almost anyone can learn it easily.

 

 

What is Tai Chi for Rehabilitation?

This program consists of three different tai chi styles.  Chen style tai chi is vigorous and sophisticated, containing fast and slow movements along with powerful spiral force.  Sun style includes a unique qigong (life energy) along with agile steps.  Yang has graceful and slow movements which promote health.

Tai Chi for Energy has been extremely popular and Dr Lam was inspired to create this prequel as a gentle introduction to Chen Style, making the trilogy a complete package for people of any physical ability.

This relaxing set can be done lying, sitting or standing and will help develop your knowledge and inner power of tai chi.
