Tai Chi is a system of movements and positions believed to have developed in 12th Century China. Tai Chi techniques aim to address the body and mind as an interconnected system and are traditionally believed to have mental and physical health benefits. Originally developed for self-defense, Tai Chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that’s now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as meditation in motion, Tai Chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements.
Some of those benefits include:
- Improved balance and stability
- Pain management
- Improved brain function
- Improved sleep quality
Tai Chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. In fact, because Tai Chi is a low-impact exercise, it may be especially suitable if you’re an older adult who otherwise may not exercise.
The instructor, Louise Marcoux Phillips has been teaching Tai Chi since 2007. Jointly with her Tai Chi Master Michael Kirwin, she created the Headwaters School of Tai Chi in 2010. In 2018, Louise created the North Dufferin School of Tai Chi and has been offering classes in Shelburne since then.
At ‘Beyond Yoga & Tai Chi with Louise’ we enjoy a relaxing yet stimulating hour together. We have created a friendly and safe community where we learn and laugh together.
