Taichi for Health
In this certification course, you’ll learn the Foundational Form of Lam Style Tai Chi. A method built based on classical Tai Chi styles, developed by Master Lam Kam Chuen, a world-renowned authority in Qigong and Tai Chi.
It is characterized by its high effectiveness and requires only a minimum of space and time.
This form can be learned in a compact 9-weeks program.
The depth and efficacy of the classical-long forms, which typically take several years to learn, are well preserved.
Another distinctive feature of Lam Style Tai Chi is its close connection to Zhan Zhuang Qigong which allows this Tai Chi to attain its unique fullness, inner power, and strength.
“Recent studies show that Tai Chi can help improve both lower- and upper-body muscle strength, build better balance, reduce stress, strengthen your heart, lower blood pressure, improve flexibility, slow the onset of dementia, help relieve the pain of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and more.”
