AI CHI
Water Tai Chi

Flowing Aquatic Energy Balance, Harmony and Healing

Let the soothing waters strengthen your body and caress your spirit! The flowing yet powerful sequence of moves, based on Tai Chi, combines deep breathing with slow, broad movements of arms, legs, and torso.

Ai Chi is a combination of Tai Chi concepts and movements with Shiatsu and Watsu techniques. It is performed standing in shoulder depth water using a combination of deep breathing and slow broad movement of the arms, legs and torso. The concept of Ai Chi is to relax within the movement. By using equal force throughout the movement, and moving continually one creates a harmony and awareness of mind and body. With the support of the water's buoyancy, participants are able to coordinate the Tai Chi movements to their fullest extent. Participants can then focus on their breathing and body movements without having to worry about falling over!

What people have to say about Ai Chi

"Ai Chi brings a sense of calm in an otherwise hurried world, the progression stretches all of my aching joints and makes simple movements so much easier." -Mimi

"Ai Chi feels good, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
It's a favor I do for myself and a great complement to my spiritual practice." -Melinda

ÒAi Chi has done more for me than I ever expected. Before I came to Ai Chi I was relying on a cane a great deal of the time for stability. Because of what Ai Chi has done for my balance I actually can lift one foot off the ground, on dry land, without falling on my face! The information that has been shared in class, regarding the importance of concentrating on our core has made all the difference for me. My hour with Ai Chi is so very important in my lifeÓ -Suzanne
