Instagram Tai Chi Video Of The Day – August 4th, 2018

What an amazing place to be able to practice Tai Chi! I can imagine how being in the atmosphere of the place would effect your Tai Chi!

Combine Yoga and Taichi . When I traveled through Mexico I took my first yoga class. Eventually I ended up living in a yoga retreat center in Guatemala for half a year. I fell in love with it and like especially the philosophical and spiritual aspect. It didn’t take too long for me to notice some limitations about the physical asana practice though. . My body felt great and I became stronger and more flexible. But eventually the strength couldn’t back up the created space anymore which led to quite the imbalance in my body. Injuries are proned to happen in this state. A lot of vinyasa yoga classes involve similar postures and most teachers want their classes to look good and flow very well. Adding in “boring” poses like you see in movement and mobility training would take away from the flashy style. However, that means they sacrifice working on the entire body. Let’s be honest. You’re not going to balance your physical body by standing in a balance pose but by working strength and flexibility in all parts of your body. . Taichi (and Qigong) to me, is the best practice to build strength in a fairly wide range of motion. You find the balance between strength and flexibility, find stillness in motion, softness in hardness. Not to mention the meditative and martial aspects as well as the spiritual ones. The best thing though, is when you combine these practices! . If you want to know how you can combine Taichi and Yoga please sign up to my emails.
