About the Form

Taiji Shen Gong is considered to be an original form of Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) developed about 700 years ago in the Yuan dynasty. This original Tai Chi is not a martial art but pure Qigong to improve health and longevity. It is a perfect complement to any Tai Chi or mind-body practice.

Teaching Style

Our live online Tai Chi classes and Qigong classes will be taught with an emphasis on relaxation and increasing balance and flexibility. You will be able to ask questions and receive feedback from your instructor just like an in-person class. Modifications are available for physical considerations. The goal is to relax, have fun, and increase and maintain health. We do this by using focusing on breathing and the gentle movements of the form. A tool for improving physical and mental health, Taijiquan is also a martial art. Each movement has practical applications.

Qigong for Health and Wellness

“Qi” means life energy or the life power that flows through all living things. “Gong” means “to work” or cultivate. Qigong, Chi Kung, or also known Ch’i Kung is literally translated from the Chinese ideograms as “cultivating life force or life energy.” Since the Chinese language is based upon drawn symbols, translation into Roman characters has varied. Qigong is pronounced “chee gung.” See more about the spelling variations.

Qigong is a self-healing art that combines movement and meditation. Visualizations are also employed to enhance the mind/body connection and assist healing. Regular practice of qigong can: prevent and treat illness, reduce stress, establish balance, integrate mind/body/spirit, bring peace, help regain flexibility with slow, gentle, non-impact motions, improve blood circulation, and many other healing positives.

For health maintenance and relaxation, the Qigong practitioner does not have to be an expert. Almost anyone can learn to practice Qigong to maintain and improve his or her own health.
