Welcome to PranaShanti Yoga Centre

Tai-Chi, as it is practiced in the west today, can best be thought of as a moving form of yoga and meditation combined. The objective of Tai-Chi is to purify one's vital energy (chi) and at the same time to open oneself to a spiritual dimension. The "chi" is a vital energy that is in us, around us, and is the origin of the universe.

Yang style Tai-Chi consists of a series of 108 movements always executed in the same sequence to calm the mind, allowing a sense of peace to be instilled as well as to stimulate a harmonious circulation of this chi, this energy, throughout the body. The 108 movements of Yang style Tai-Chi are conceived to clear the body's meridians. This stimulates the circulation of the vital energy in the body to nourish and stimulate the body's organs. Tai-Chi is relaxation in continual movements.
Tai-Chi is usually represented by the Yin-Yang symbol. Yang is the active element, and Yin the passive. For the Chinese, the balance of the world rests in harmonising these two polarities.
