Tai Chi made easy
Tai chi, or Chinese shadow boxing, is a martial art developed in Imperial China that is now practised by several million people worldwide, making it one of the most widely practised martial arts. In the People's Republic of China, Tai Chi is a popular sport and thousands of people can be seen practising the slow, flowing movements in city parks in the early hours of the morning.
Health Qigong
Health Qigong originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and focusses on the five internal organs (heart, lungs, stomach/spleen, liver and kidneys). TCM assumes that most illnesses, everyday stresses and mental imbalances lead to impairment of the five internal organs. However, if the co-operation of these organs is improved through Qigong exercises, this has a positive effect on the Qi and blood circulation, the metabolism and on muscles, ligaments and tendons and thus leads to a longer, healthier life.
Lecture
The normal working day usually offers little time to recharge your batteries. With simple Qigong exercises, participants learn effective exercises to help them face the daily demands of working life in a more balanced way and cope better with the stresses of everyday life through stress immunisation. The practical lecture offers practice-orientated instructions on how to empty your mental work memory and become more relaxed, activate your self-healing powers through relaxation exercises, free your neck and shoulders from tension and find time to spend 5 to 10 minutes every day at work in a healthy and active way.
Acupressure
Acupressure is a pillar of Chinese medicine. It involves gently pressing or massaging certain points on the body to regulate the flow of energy in the body and activate the body's self-healing powers. These points are located along the meridians, the body's energy pathways, and are known as acupuncture points. The use of acupressure can alleviate a variety of complaints and improve general well-being. These include headaches, neck and back pain, digestive problems, sleep disorders and stress. Acupressure can also be used for self-treatment at home. However, it is important to note that acupressure is not a substitute for medical treatment, especially for serious conditions. It should be agreed with a doctor beforehand.
