Tai Chi Easy consists of classic and simple Qigong, including the four essential methods:

• Postural alignment

The Tai Chi Easy program is a modification of traditional Tai Chi. Five movements are performed either sitting (Tai Chi Chair) or standing. Tai Chi Walking creates a moving form. We will focus on breath work, movement and stillness, and meditation. Although there is a pattern to each session, various movements are introduced regularly, keeping the practice fresh and diverse.

Tai Chi Easy aims for the cultivation of healthy longevity and inner tranquility. There is no straining or pushing. The movements are gentle and adaptable to all sorts of physical and psychological challenges. This program is complementary to recovery and rehabilitation.
