Zest for Life Tai Chi
A graceful blend of movement, balance, and mindfulness.
Our Zest for Life class is a gentle Tai Chi-based exercise program built around Qigong Shibashi Sets 1 and 2—a series of 18 flowing, meditative movements that are simple to follow and deeply beneficial for both body and mind.
Qigong Shibashi (pronounced “chee-gong shi-ba-shi”) is a form of traditional Chinese exercise that combines gentle Tai Chi movements, deep breathing, and mindful focus to promote overall health, reduce stress, and improve energy flow (or “Qi”) in the body.
This form of movement is especially valuable for:
- Improving balance and coordination
- Enhancing flexibility and joint mobility
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Aiding recovery from injury or illness
- Managing chronic conditions like arthritis or fatigue
