January 23 - 25 2009:
Chinese Healing Arts with Kevin Sullivan
New Age Health Spa will be offering a Weekend of Chinese Healing Arts beginning with an evening lecture on Friday Jan 23rd 2009, classes all day Saturday and concluding Sunday at 1:00 PM. In this weekend featuring Kevin Sullivan, you will practice and observe various traditional Chinese healing modalities so that you may better understand the particular benefits of each one. You will learn easy Qigong breathing and walking exercises and a form of Tai Chi.

Tai Chi is a martial art that combines a series of gentle exercises into a dance-like form. Its many benefits include developing coordination, balance and flexibility. We will divide the Tai Chi form into separate exercises that are easy to learn so you won’t need to remember a long series of movements.

There are over a thousand different styles of Tai Chi with varying speeds and movements. The Chen and Chung styles use large circular movements and move at faster rates than the Wu and Yang styles, which move in slow, cross-like formations. In addition to learning one of these styles, you will see a demonstration of other forms.
