Mind/Body Aquatics ReStructuring Membership $175. 8 session
One of Ai Chi's strength is that it is suitable for people of all ages and levels who simply need to relax and focus on the messages the body is sending in order to transform tension patterns, improve balance and posture. Ai Chi is also known for the power of body and breath moving together, opening up the meridians in a gentle warm water full body experience.
Due to it gentle and soothing nature many older adults and people with chronic conditions are attracted to regular practice, but Ai Chi is equally valuable for heathy adults. Participants experience improvement in balance and movement confidence or working to resolve or improve post stroke challenges, severe pain due to traumatic injury, arthritic, fibromyalgia , back pain or surgery recovery.
Initially named “water breathing” the participant practices Ai Chi in warm shallow chest deep water. Exercisers stand with knees bent, body immersed to the neck. The program combines deep breathing with slow broad movements in a series of 16 postures.
The 3 most important aspects of the program are;
1. the significance of the breath and the autonomic nervous system
2. the mind / body relationship
3. the Eastern concept that “how it turns out is the way it's meant to be”
This is the first step to transformation in our Restructuring Program
