— The Benefits of Tai Chi
The aim of our physical practice, which incorporates exercises from Tai Chi, Qigong, Aikido and Karate, is to build strength, mindfulness and harmony in both body and mind.
“Tai Chi promotes health, prevents injuries and alleviates chronic conditions.” Sage Journals (Summary of over 120 systematic reviews by medical researchers)
— Let body and mind meet!
“Tai chi is often described as ‘meditation in motion’ – you could also call it ‘medication in motion’.” Medically reviewed article, Harvard Health Publishing.
Physical benefits of Tai Chi include
- increased flexibility
- increased muscle strength and tone
- improved respiration, energy and vitality
- maintaining a balanced metabolism
Reconnect. Breath. Feel.
The exercises included in the training programme offer the following mental benefits
- Reduced cortisol production
- Greater inner calm
- Greater emotional stability
- Improved concentration and cognitive performance
- Mental alertness
Budo-Bodywork
Imagine moving through your day with calm, clarity and strength. Your body feels stable and alive, your mind alert and focused. With every exercise, you develop greater body awareness, breathing, centring and energy. Gentle, flowing movements meet clarity, structure and concentration. In this way, training becomes more than just a physical practice; it becomes a path to finding calm, strength and harmony within yourself.
— What I offer
I combine mindful movement, meditation and healthy eating into a holistic approach to achieving greater balance, strength and quality of life. Body and mind always work together – which is why lasting well-being does not come from individual methods, but from the harmonious interplay of movement, rest and a mindful lifestyle.
The focus is not on pressure to perform, but on your own body awareness, inner clarity and a natural approach to health. Whether through Tai Chi, meditation or mindful eating: the aim is to strengthen the whole person and bring more calm, stability and energy into everyday life.
Bodywork
These classes teach basic exercises from aikido, karate, tai chi and qi gong. The focus is on body awareness, flexibility, breathing, posture and the mindful use of strength and energy. The exercises promote balance, concentration and inner calm; no prior experience is necessary.
Meditation
I offer introductory courses in meditation for people who would like to bring more calm, mindfulness and inner balance into their daily lives. The courses cover the basics of meditation in an easy-to-understand way, as well as practical exercises for relaxation and stress reduction. No prior experience is necessary.
Balanced nutrition
From 2027, I will be offering personalised nutritional advice for people who wish to make lasting improvements to their health, wellbeing and diet. The advice is based on practical, personalised solutions and guides you step by step towards healthier habits.
— New Students !
This you will learn
We’ll start by practising correct, deep breathing, standing upright and maintaining good posture. These exercises are drawn from Zen, Shiatsu, Karate and Aikido. We learn meditative, slow movements and sequences that both relax us and improve our physical fitness.
Here are a few tips for your first class:
- All beginning students who are new to the group get the basics explained during training.
- Bring a water bottle and small hand towel. If you have a Jo or a Bokken, please bring it.
- Come 5–10 minutes early for your classes, so you can take your time to settle in.
- Wear comfortable clothes such as sweats, leggings, T-shirts, tank tops. Choose sleek athletic shoes.
- You set your own limits. If an exercise seems too difficult, do it as far as you can. With more practice, you will be able to do it.
