Relaxing weekend with Tai Chi

Tai Chi is more than just exercises – it is a philosophy of movement whose practice combines calmness, flexibility, and strength. This ancient Chinese art of moving meditation, originally derived from martial arts styles, is now practiced by millions of people worldwide as a natural path to health and harmony. It combines smooth, gentle movements with deep breathing, positively affecting balance, concentration, and stress reduction.

Qigong is a traditional Chinese practice of working with energy, based on calm, mindful movements, breathing, and awareness. It supports circulation, strengthens immunity, calms the mind, and restores the body's natural rhythm. Combined with Tai Chi, it provides an excellent way to regenerate and find inner harmony.

• Morning rejuvenating gymnastics session – a gentle workout that, through self-massage, conscious breathing, and subtle movements, stimulates the flow of energy in the body. You will feel a surge of vital strength, release tension, and start the day with a sense of full harmony between body and mind.
• Evening Tai Chi training – in the rays of the setting sun, you will immerse yourself in the fluid movements of Tai Chi, learning to consciously shift your weight and perform gentle spiral movements called Silk Reeling (Can Si Gong). You will learn a section of the old Laojia Yilu form, perfecting the harmony of movement and breath. To finish – standing meditation Zhan Zhuang, helping to root energy and find inner peace.
