When you attend one of our venues for your introductory lesson, you will
have the opportunity to learn the following:

· Warm-up exercises : These simple, yet effective joint loosening exercises help you to relax stiff muscles and joints, increasing your flexibility.

· Qigong (Chi Kung) : an ancient technique for relaxing your mind and body. It also improves your posture, increase your energy levels and trains your ability to maintain centredness.

· Tai Chi form : in this first lesson, you will learn the beginning
movements of the form. Through these movements, you will experience the gentle flowing nature of Tai Chi and its ability to positively affect your
body and mind.
Internally, the movements massage your organs, improve blood circulation and promote diaphragmatic breathing. Externally, your joints, tendons and muscles are loosened and gradually strengthened. Tai Chi will help you to relieve stress in your daily life.

· Tai Chi demonstration : the final part of the lesson will conclude with a
performance of the Tai Chi form, also known as meditation in motion. This will give you the opportunity to see the blending of strength and
relaxation, harmony and balance.

When you experience Tai Chi, you will understand the reasons it has become one of the most popular and effective ways to relaxation and better health.
