Summary:
These 24 half-hour lectures are a guided exploration into the many facets of two ancient Chinese energetic arts. Both tai chi chuan and qigong are related and for centuries have been practices together - each discipline evolving its own set of exercises, yet each resembling each other greatly and even sharing a majority of each other's organizing principles. The course will take you on a journey through the rich landscape of tai chi and qigong, covering the spectrum of topics from their early recorded history to how they are evolving in the 21st century.
