TOAIST LIFE EXTENSION QIGONG INTRODUCTION COURSES.
We offer week long introduction courses which focus on Taoist exersises to open up the body and fix the skeleton, as well as adjusting the posture these movements train the body in " Whole body strength" and are great for rebuilding the musclestructure, toning up the tendons, stabilising the joints and increasing safe range of movement. Ideal as a supplement to a detox program this practice is supported by a Chi gathering practice to regain lost vitality and classes in Taoist meditation
This set is the foundation practice of this school and it contains all the core movements of Chen Tai Chi . However as a seperate practice just for health or as a set up for more serious extreme sports and physically demanding activities it is ideal as all of the body is opened up and un- knotted, the blood refreshed and all metabolic wastes are flushed from the system while energetically recharging the whole system and clearing out toxic energy and substances, it has been used to great effect in helping people with all kinds of maladies related to the body and energy.
This is a very easy to aquire practice
REMEDIAL QIGONG, RESTRUCTURING THE BODY AND REVITALISE THE QI. REGAIN LOST HEALTH AND FITNESS. RE-EXPERIENCE YOUTHFULL VITALITY. ARRIVE WHEN YOU ARE AVAILABLE.
This has helped many people in the years that this school has been open and is probably the main reason we get visitors, from simple aches and pains to very deep seated physical, mental and emotional maladies to simply getting fitter and more robust this practice is merely Taoist Qigong practiced for longer periods and more often with some adjustments for each person. After the problems have been removed one can reduce the time of a practice session to less than an hour a day and still get a lot from it.
We have some adaptions and variations for different conditions and for healers who believe that their patients should take responsibility for their own health, this is a priceless gift to share.. This practice is supported by a lot of seated practice and Qi replenshing methods. This practice is excellent for reshaping the skeleton. and rebuilding the body.
We find that a lot can be achieved in just a month with this practice.
.
To be realistic about learning Taijiquan one must accept that there are no short cuts on the road to mastery of even the basics, proper teachers sometime spend years preparing their students for deeper level practice and today it is all too common to see school advertising 5 day courses in forms which is a rather sad state of affairs.
What we offer is a very well structured, step by step modular based coures starting with Qigong and joint opening, all relevant basics, two short forms, the 13 methods which include the 8 different skills, push hands and martial applications at a very basic level. Taiji is a martial art that brings many extra benfits from its practice.
For those interested in teaching the first two levels we offer a course extension at the end of the three months that speciffically addresses opening and promoting a school, training teaching assistants and running workshops and opening satellite schools.
Please note this does not qualify one as a Taiji Master but meerly as very competent to get a group started. We are happy to visit our graduates after they set up at home and further their knowledge.
