Tai Chi and Qi Gung

At Manchester

Chen style Tai Chi and Qi Gung taught in a traditional manner.

  • Peaceful movement bringing inner strength
  • Great for fitness
  • All welcome regardless of age or fitness
  • No previous experience necessary

Tai Chi practice serves to bring balance and harmony to the practitioner. The beautiful circles and graceful moves serve to provide a powerful self healing and fitness system that does not over stress the joints. Tai Chi is one of the 5 healing arts of Traditional Chinese medicine along with Qi Gong, Acupuncture, Herbs and Tui Na (acupressure) massage.

Qi Gung is an internal system of breathing and cultivating Qi, which translates loosely as energy, it can involve movements or be stationary and is complementary to Tai Chi. Qi Gong has been practiced in China for over 5000 years and provided the basis for most of the healing arts throughout China.

Why not join us and experience for yourself the benefits of Tai Chi and Qi Gung or for more information please contact the manchester centre.

Each session will begin with a traditional warm up allowing the body to start to release any tension it has built up during the day and to allow the bodies energies to start to move. We then move onto Qi Gung to strengthen the internal energies and finally we practice the 8 step Tai Chi form.

The 8 step form is excellent for beginners as it is quite easy to remember but will also challenge experienced practitioners as it contains many movements that have more challenging qualities.

Light of Hope is a Community Interest Company

Community Interest Companies (CICS) are limited companies, with special additional features, created for the use of people who want to conduct a business or other activity for community benefit, and not purely for private advantage. This is achieved by a "community interest test" and "asset lock", which ensure that the CIC is established for community purposes and the assets and profits are dedicated to these purposes. Registration of a company as a CIC has to be approved by the Regulator who also has a continuing monitoring and enforcement role.
