Tai Chi Chuan

Tai Chi is based on different sequences of movement, which is concentrated in relaxed, flowing movements.

By practicing Tai Chi we can feel the connection with all living things. The Chi, the life energy flows through us and reflects our relationship with animals, plants, and all-natural phenomena.

We become permeable, feel conscious, and fit into related rhythms such as day and night, our breath, awakening, and tiring.

The yin-yang principle can be experienced, and imbalances can be felt and brought into balance.

You learn and experience the authentic Yang style of the “International Tai Chi Chuan Association” (ITCCA.com). That means you can learn and develop what you have learned in many European countries in a local Tai Chi school.
