Yang Style 24

 

Yang Style Tai Chi – 24 Forms

In 1956 a group of Tai Chi experts, organized by the Chinese State Physical Culture &  port Commission created the simplified 24 set Tai Chi Quan based on Yang Style. This made a complicated form more simple. Today the Yang style is the most popular of Tai Chi system and is practiced by millions worldwide.

Regulating the breath can change our emotions which adjusts the blood chemistry which in turn, effects the internal organs.

Often times, people confuse harder with better, when speaking about health, fitness and well being.

Movement within the 3 anatomical planes, is a another benefit of Tai Chi exercises. These low impact exercises are also very good for managing chronic pain while rehabilitating injuries. Many practice these methods to relax, relieve stress and become more self-aware.

Qigong & Dao Yin – methods to prevent illness & injuries

Qigong & Dao Yin have been around for thousands of years (origins between 5000-1500 BC) but does that matter?

Well, yes! These methods have proven the test of time. The “new” health care program is actually the “old” program that has worked for millions of people over the years.

Accountability for ones own health – take a pill or eat better. Surgery or exercise to fix an ailment. Qigong is not the answer for everyone or all issues, but why not look into it before making …decisions that will effect the rest of your health and life?

Watch the attached video for a 6-minute sample of one of my group follow-along class. For more info, contact at 407-234-0119 or

The Universal Circle Principle

Often people see Tai Chi (Qigong & Yoga) as some simple, slow motion, boring types of exercise for older adults. There is so much more going on that is not usually seen, understood or taught.

Unseen is the following:
– deep, rhythmic breathing
– movement in the 3 anatomical planes…
– theory behind spiraling and gentle twisting of the torso and limbs to stimulate blood/energy flow while moving the internal organs
– philosophy of opposing forces interacting together
– inner journey of self-awareness while trying to become present in the now.

And so much more than meets the eye. For more information, contact at 407-234-0119.

Slow Movement with Awareness: Better than Exercise?

Good article about why, tai chi and yoga are such good methods to manage good health and wellness.

Having started at the age of 16, I have a very different perspective than my students whom many are just starting while in their 60’s and older. I live the “tai chi lifestyle” and know the benefits from almost 40 years of practicing and studying martial arts with tai chi and qigong. It is difficult for some people to understand that harder is not necessary better.

I have fixed or managed many personal injuries, such as knee trauma, neck, shoulder, elbow, lower back, headaches and sinus issues. Hard for most to believe, but I am living proof that these methods work, often with extraordinary results.
