About Tai Chi and Chi Gong
Tai Chi and Chi Gong are ancient forms of Chinese exercise which have been practiced for hundreds of years. The soft yet strong, flowing movements, combined with meditative breathing & mind focus, help to develop a deep sense of connection within our bodies and minds. Through regular practice, this can develop a strong and flexible body and a calm and quiet mind.
Learning Tai Chi with Sophie will enable you to benefit from the teachings from the Chen family. Chen style is the oldest form of Tai Chi ever practiced. It uses explosive movements as well as the soft and flowing type which gives it, as a practice, tremendous potential to develop and evolve one's body and mind as a Tai Chi practitioner.
