Developed
over six centuries ago, Tibetan Tai-Chi is a scientific method
of physical and mental conditioning, consisting of a unique series
of fluid and synchronized movements performed in slow motion in
conjunction with a system of deep breathing. Breath is the basis
of Tibetan Tai-Chi, as it is of life. Because this technique involves
no straining or jerking, but a slow progressive increase in effort,
it is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their health and
athletic performance, while increasing their resistance to injury.
Only patience and consistency are important. Your level of fitness
is not.
Done
properly and on a regular basis, Tibetan Tai-Chi increases
energy and flexibility, normalizes the metabolism, improves
muscle tone, and is an effective technique of stress management.
Tibetan Tai-Chi
consists of four phases and requires time to become proficient
in all of the movements. Since each error diminishes the effectiveness
of Tai-Chi, the emphasis is on the correctness of each movement.
In other words, it is more beneficial to learn a single move correctly
than to learn a dozen movements superficially. Garuda's classes
are small enough to allow each student to progress at their own
rate.
