Angela Raymond-Tai Chi Instructor
Certified Tai Chi Easy and Medical Qigong Practice Leader with the Healer within Foundation/IIQTC
2015 was the year I began spreading my wings to share my love of Qigong and 2022 I became Certified in Tai Chi Easy.  Now it's time to combine these two disciplines into a one hour class incorporating gentle movement, breath practice and self applied massage techniques and relaxation practice through meditation and visualization.
Tai Chi Easy is a carefully constructed combination of Tai Chi and Qigong (Chee-gong) to bring fun and enjoyment.  "Tai Chi Chuan or Tai Chi for Chinese martial art and military combat is a much more recent development.  All of these practices modify and accelerate the bodies own self-regulating physiological and bioenergetics mechanism.  They have a very practical application for healing disease as well as supporting health maintenance, endurance and longevity.

These practices are easy to learn, need no prior experience, mild grip shoes or grippy socks are recommended.
