Chen Style Tai Chi (Taijiquan) for health and mobility.

A fantastic way to maintain your health through regulating the bodies digestive system, improving circulation and relaxing muscles and tendons. It also improves muscle and cognitive memory, therefore benefiting those that are not as young as they once were. Qi Gong is also good for mental health and de stressing those who have a busy lifestyle and it helps to release the feel-good endorphins.

All ages can however practice Chen style Tai Chi but those who are a bit older will realise that this gentle form of exercise is not initially ballistic and improves movement through strengthening the muscles and loosening the tendons by means of unique Qi gong breathing exercises and slow movements.
