Located 0.8km from Appleton Park, String of Pearls Tai Chi Evington is the right choice if you’re looking for Tai Chi. Tai Chi, or tai ji quan, is a unique Chinese internal martial art system now practised all around the world. As one of the soft arts Tai Chi works on stability and correct postural alignment and works mainly with the movement of the energy. The holistic nature of this ancient art makes it suitable for people of all ages and levels of fitness and the movements can be adapted to suit all abilities. The meditative movements require full engagement of your mind and body. Regular practice has a deep, calming effect upon the mind promoting general well-being. It brings about an increased inner strength, greater flexibility, stability of the main joints and improves circulation and blood pressure. Other benefits include improved digestion, posture, balance, co-ordination, lung capacity and confidence. This morning class focuses on Chen Style and apart from foundational qigong exercise we work on twining strength exercises also known as silk reeling and practice Chen 19 form. To attend, no booking needed.
