Taijiquan
Taijiquan (T’ai Chi Ch’uan),
pronounced “tie chee chewon,” is an ancient Chinese
exercise that blends medicine (self healing), meditation and
the martial arts. It is most notable for its slow, steady
and rhythmic movements that are oftentimes seen practiced
outdoors in groups. Our form is the Yang Style, Short Form,
as taught by Professor Zheng Manjing (Cheng Man-ch’ing).
We teach the 37 postures linked by flowing movements that
fully exercise the body, the mind and the spirit. During the practice, you become aware of
the bodymindspirit and its inseparable connection with
the subtle energy of breath or “qi” (pronounced
"chee"). Qi is the life force or energy that infuses everything
living. Life is movement! Even stillness has an energy.
We will explore the many different qualities of qi in our
classes.
Taiji has been known to create a relaxed
state because it reduces tension and increases vitality. “A
gentle exercise, performed in a calm and peaceful manner,
a benefit to all, regardless of age or condition!” Diane Macchiavelli, L.Ac., student of Robert
W. Smith, is a long-time Taiji practitioner. She has studied
the Ancient Chinese Philosophies including Taoism and Buddhism
for over 30 years. Diane has a private Classical Five Element
Acupuncture practice in Brighton. She gratefully continues
to learn from these profound modalities. For more info: 585-242-9518.
