Details
The Li style is a very traditional form of T’ai Chi and is considered balanced in its Yin & Yang aspects. All styles of T’ai Chi when taught properly embody certain basic principles which ensure effectiveness as a martial art and maximise the
health benefits of the movement. The classes will focus on developing these principles through learning the Li Form and with solo and partner exercises.
To date research has confirmed that T’ai Chi’s effects include:
- Improved balance and reduced incidence of falls among the elderly
- Reduced blood pressure
- Improved sleep quality
- Enhanced immune response
- Slowed reduction of bone density, protecting against osteoporosis
- Increased Heart Rate Variability, as effective as brisk walking.
- Improved mobility and decreased pain where there is osteoarthritis of the knee
- Aiding blood sugar regulation in type 2 diabetes.
- Reduced stress and improved psychological well-being
