Healthy Outlook's - Tai Chi / Body Balance
as taught by
Raymond Sol, MS.Ed.
Tai
Chi & Qigong Consultant
Faculty,Paradise
Valley Community College
The
overall purpose of this class is to introduce a basic exercise class
using Tai Chi and Qigong movements. Tai Chi has long been known as
“moving relaxation” and is practiced by more people around the
world, then any other exercise activity. The overall goal of this
class is to help people improve: overall body balance, body
flexibility, body strength, and body stress relief. This program is
designed to introduce people to a short basic Tai Chi exercise form
that can be later expanded into a longer form. These Tai Chi
exercises are designed to improve balance and stability while moving.
In addition, muscle flexibility and strength will be targeted.
Also, Qigong deep breathing exercises while moving will help bring
oxygen into the body and help cleanse the body of toxins, such as
carbon dioxide (CO2). And finally, special relaxation music will be
played throughout the session to calm and relax the body and mind.
Each
session will be the same, with warm up exercises to strengthen and
stretch the body. Then Qigong Deep breathing movements will continue
to help stretch the muscles and bring fresh oxygen into the body. A
simple exercise to help aline the spine will be introduce before the
actual Tai Chi exercises begin. The short Tai Chi exercise program
will then be introduced and students will learn 6 basic movements.
The design of this program will be to help students learn how to
“flow” from one movement to the next. Qigong deep breathing will
then be presented and students will learn how to coordinate their
breathing with the Tai Chi movements. The Tai Chi exercises will be
repeated several times to lengthen and enhance the overall benefits
of the this “moving relaxation” experience. In later sessions,
the option to learn a longer form showing 11 movements can easily be
added.
The
program is setup to be half hour sessions offered once a week in the
morning at 11:30am. All sessions will be held at the Healthy Outlook
Family Medicine's exercise room. The cost of the session will be $5,
and is paid when the student comes to class. Five session “loyalty”
passes will be offered at $20 each.
