Tai Chi, Qigong, and Bagua — taught to fit you.

What is QiGong?

QiGong is a centuries-old system of coordinated body-posture and movement, breathing, and meditation. With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi, or “life energy”.

People practice qigong throughout China and worldwide for recreation, exercise, relaxation, preventive medicine, healing, meditation, self-cultivation, and training for martial arts.

What is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi has been practiced in China for centuries for health, meditation and martial arts. At Human Harmonies our focus is on Tai Chi for health, vitality, and well-being.

The low-impact physical movements exercise muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints, and massage internal organs. The slow, continuous pace of the movements activate and help regulate the lymphatic and endocrine systems, as well as brain and spinal fluids. With regular practice, Tai Chi relaxes and regulates the central nervous system, releasing physical and emotional stress.

What are internal martial arts?

Internal martial arts develop a person’s physical body, as well as a person’s internal energy — or chi. Tai Chi, QiGong, and Bagua (or Bagua Zhang) are all considered internal martial arts. Bagua uses spirals, twist and release, and circular stepping to develop vitality and awareness, and is fundamentally rooted in the I-Ching, or “Book of Changes”.
