What is Tai Chi?

What is Tai Chi all about? Tai Chi refers to the natural balance of life energy. Since ancient times, people have noticed that Nature tends to find balance, and they’ve developed methods to tap into this natural energy phenomenon. We can say that many energy practices, like Qigong and various healing martial arts, are forms of Tai Chi.

How Does Tai Chi Work?

Tai Chi exercises emphasize energy circulation, breathing and balance, along with mindfulness and concentration. You can practice these exercises while standing, seated or even while lying down. Over time, by practicing Tai Chi you can develop a heightened awareness of your own energy. Many people report feeling physically stronger and lighter, with emotions more calm and mind more clear.

Benefits of Tai Chi

What is Tai Chi good for? Tai Chi practice is recommended for overall wellness. It can help with balance, alignment, and stress reduction. Tai Chi exercises can also serve as a form of meditation. Tai Chi energy-balancing exercises are great for people of all ages, and can be adapted for your own condition. You may experience:

  • Less stress
  • Improved mood
  • Increased energy and stamina
  • Reduced chronic pain
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved flexibility, balance and agility
  • Improved muscle strength and definition

Norridge Body & Brain Tai Chi

Body & Brain centers offer a form of Tai Chi called DahnMuDo, which means "The Way of Limitless Energy." In this type of class you'll learn a series of slow, flowing, energy-balancing movements derived from Qigong and the martial arts, based on Tai Chi principles.

At Body & Brain, you'll also find energy sensing and balancing Tai Chi exercises incorporated into a variety of our classes and workshops:

  • Many of the deep stretches in our regular classes and special workshops are derived from Qigong postures. They’re designed to help improve your energy circulation from head to toe.
  • You can experience energy sensing meditation, a practice in which you feel energy between your hands.
  • You can also experience Dahn Mu ("Energy Dance"), a free-form dance designed to help you feel oneness and harmony with the energy around you.
