Tai Chi Chuan

Description

Tai Chi Chuan is a practice of Chinese origin, focused on slow and fluid movement, emphasizing body awareness and moving meditation. The sequence is memorized and regularly repeated, allowing the practitioner to develop an art of movement in relation to their personal nature. The movements, inspired by nature and the observation of animals, are executed precisely. They help develop a fine bodily awareness in connection with one’s support. This “non-martial” art form is more than a series of gestures expressed in slowness: it embodies a profound philosophy of the relationship between body, breath, and mind.

Teachings

The practice of Tai Chi Chuan focuses on slowness, patience, and self-listening. Sessions encourage practitioners to explore their own sensations and emotions while respecting the common foundations of the form. Participants are guided to clarify posture, breathing, and concentration specific to the practice. This approach promotes gradual learning and personal appropriation of the art of Tai Chi Chuan, adapted to each individual with deep self-respect.

Benefits

Regular practice of Tai Chi Chuan promotes better body awareness, reduces stress, and improves flexibility and balance. It is a discipline accessible to all, regardless of age or physical performance requirements. Tai Chi Chuan is recognized in Chinese medicine for its positive effects on mental health, promoting mental availability and inner balance. Any positive action on the body has a positive reaction on the mind and vice versa.
