to open the possibility for anyone to study the ancient Daoist arts and explore in a genuine way the profound transformative power of these methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left

is an ancient practice that combines energetic exercises (Qi Gong) with martial techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name Tai Chi refers to Taoist Cosmology and can be roughly translated as \"supreme unity,\" the stage of creation where everything exists in unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tai Chi Quan expresses this principle in all its aspects, from the most superficial to the deepest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It harmoniously combines meditation, energy practices, martial practices, and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercises are characterized by slow, steady, and relaxed movements, like flowing water that never stops, and by low postures and techniques to increase inner strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With relaxation and coordination, it is possible to remove physical and energetic obstacles, open the flow of meridians, and eliminate the root of diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In questo modo il Tai Chi si pratica contemporaneamente a livello del corpo, dell\u2019energia e dello spirito, visti come diverse espressioni della stessa forza vitale che anima l\u2019universo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-16a9b86\" data-v=\"4\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qi Gong (or chi kung) is an ancient Chinese practice that aims to heal and prevent diseases, calm the mind, and learn to consciously control the energies of our body and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name \"Qi Gong\" is a historically new name and has been used to define in one word the great variety of Chinese energetic practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercises we will practice in our class are a combination of standing static and dynamic postures and meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These meditative practices include and combine breathing, relaxation, stretching, concentration, visualization, exercises to strengthen the body, and control energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visualization, exercises to strengthen the body and control energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are based on Yin and Yang theories, ancient medicine, and also Daoist principles, philosophy, and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, in addition to healing and strengthening the body, these practices also aim to cultivate character and connect with high wisdom to open new doors to understanding ourselves and the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block
