SWIMMING DRAGON CHI KUNG
moves the vertebrae like
a string of pearls.
The gentle movements open the spine,
balances the body’s energy,
and increases circulation.

Swimming Dragon Chi Kung is especially effective for opening the the low back, and developing core alignment.

WATER - FIRE BALANCING CHI KUNG
is easy to learn. It opens and closes the body refreshing the aura.
Balance “fire” - heart meridians with “water” – kidney meridians and feel the rejuvenating effects of this
uplifting chi kung exercise!

PARADOX TO “WU JI STANDING”
Experience the paradox which allows for effortless wu ji standing. The paradox is found between "sinking" without collapsing; and opening while dropping!
Standing meditation is practiced for clarity, peace and stillness of mind. Standing strengthens the root, core, intention, and alignment.

There are many types of Chi Kung,
(most are stationary),
yet the two we will be learning are
moving Chi Kung sets:

Fire/ Water Balancing Chi Kung
and
Swimming Dragon Chi Kung!

Welcome to Tai Chi Weekly Classes with Elaine Waters!

Here you will find the secrets of Tai Chi
explained through the dynamics of Body Mechanics.
The Body Mechanics of Tai Chi provide
the link between the esoteric Tai Chi principles and modern physical fitness, resulting in movement which uses minimum effort
to achieve maximum results.

Elaine Waters will teach the choreographed
tai chi routine including body mechanics which
allow tai chi
to be able to be used as a soft-style martial art.
Tai Chi taught as a sophisticated martial art is a beginning level tai chi class
that covers the esoteric paradoxes
of how soft and fluid movement
can be developed over time to include the alignment necessary for practical applications.

Tai Chi and Qigong practice
develop better:
Balance
Focus
Coordination
Alignment
Flexibility
Fluidity
Strength
Centering
Mindfulness
Patience!

TAI CHI PUSH HANDS!

Tai Chi Body Mechanics offers the
Secret to the Effortless Push!

The secret of the effortless push is to first neutralize.

Blend with and absorb the opponents force into your root using whole body alignment.

Learn ways to test your alignment to see if the opponents force naturally drops to your root.
If it doesn't, your alignment must develop internally.

The effortless tai chi push is done by
trapping pressure in your root, and allowing it to bounce up under the opponent.

Discover strength within softness by using
correct alignment and body mechanics.

To discover the effortless push,
you must learn to drop your weight and their force into your root.
To drop the weight your joints must be open.
So don't sink down and collapse!

In tai chi push hands we use minimum effort
to have maximum effect.

Elaine Waters will explain the secrets of effortless power through the dynamics of Tai Chi Body Mechanics.
Standing out from other training systems, Tai Chi Body Mechanics teaches how this soft martial art can produce incredible power.
