Based on the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, Tai chi is rooted in balance and flow, stillness within movement, and reflection during action. Just like the shape of the Taijitu (symbol of yin and yang) every movement is based on circles.
Al Huang, in Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain, suggests: “Stop the words and start the doing.” With gentle movements and focused mind, we will teach a short sequence of Yang style Tai chi, complemented with simple Qigong exercises and movement-within-stillness meditation.
Tai chi has been described as “learning to move with the wind and water in the course of everyday life” and we hope you take a little of the spirit of Bamboo Mountain home with you.
This retreat is suitable for all ages.
Costs: R1400.00 – R1600.00 per person plus Donation for Teacher & resident staff
