Tai ji Quan (Tai Chi Chuan) is based upon Qigong and Taoist principles. This system is particularly effective for health and healing, strength, power and disease prevention. Training is presented on several different levels, emphasizing structural integration as a foundation for energetic development and martial applications. Our Tai Chi classes include movements that stretch and tone the body through internal training.

Tai Chi and Qi gong may ease fibromyalgia pain and promote general quality of life. Qi gong may reduce chronic neck pain, but study results are mixed.
