WHAT IS INTEGRAL TAICHI?

The Ten-Forms of Integral Tai Chi is a series of exercises, relaxation techniques and meditation. Essentially, the forms combine Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and meditation into one holistic system that integrates body, mind, and sprit. The forms also combine activities and relaxation, movements and stillness through the practice of meditation. Thus, these forms are not just simply movements, but also are means to integrate the body, mind and sprit.
This series of exercises can integrate various forms of energy from the practice of Tai Chi, Qi Gong (chi-kung) and Yoga into a higher form energy that supports the development of higher consciousness. This system can deeply change our body and mind in a practical and solid way. As our energy generates and expands, we will discover a higher philosophy, a larger worldview, a more satisfying way of living, and a better way of expressing our-selves, filled with love and care.
