About the course

This course will focus on the Tai-Chi Qi-Gong. You will learn how to use your body, breathing techniques and mind to promote the flow of inner energy, move better and feel good. We will also learn a Qi-Gong routine that will make you both calm and energized and that you can practice anywhere.

The simple Qi-Gong movements don’t take long to learn, allowing you to quickly focus on your breath, coordination and relaxation, instead of memorizing the steps. Therefore you can feel the benefits soon after you begin your practice.

What is Tai-Chi and Qi-Gong

Tai-Chi Chuan and Qi-Gong are traditional Chinese practices that combine gentle, flowing movements, breathing techniques, and mental focus.
 
With regular practice, the body becomes more flexible, stronger, healthier, and resilient, while the mind becomes calm and focused.
 
These practices also improve spatial awareness, coordination and the quality of movements and help to naturally boost energy or enhance recovery after sports training.

About your instructor

Lucie Urbanová

30+ years background in Asian martial arts. Originally tried Tai-Chi while seeking a practice to regain my health, strength and energy. Immediately got hooked and started to diligently learn and practice. Completed over 100 training retreats including study trip to China and 10 years later became the 21st generation Chen Tai-Chi Chuan Successor.

Teaching Tai-Chi is a wonderful opportunity to share this passion and to combine it with my interests in movement, biomechanics and physiology to bring my students the best from both traditional and modern training methods.

I allways look for ways how to make learning Tai-Chi simple and straightforward without sacrificing its depth.
