Taiji (also known as Tai Chi) and Qigong are deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy and medicine. Both practices combine movement, breathing and mindfulness with the aim of harmonising and strengthening the body's life energy (Qi).

Taiji originated from the internal martial arts of China. The term ‘Taiji’ means ‘the highest principle’ – a symbol of the balance between yin and yang.

Qigong (‘working with life energy’) has its origins in traditional Chinese medicine and has been practised for over 2000 years to promote health and inner balance.

The movements are slow, flowing and suitable for people of all ages. They not only promote physical health, but also help to develop a clear mind and an open heart.
