Paducah Tai Chi
"As you grow more relaxed, you become less afraid. As you
become less afraid you grow more relaxed."
- Professor Cheng Man Ch'ing
Paducah Tai Chi is dedicated to the development and integration of balance and quality into the lives
of individuals. All classes are held at Paducah Yoga Center at 7th and Broadway in
downtown Paducah.
*Even though Tai Chi is a gentle art you should always consult your doctor before starting a new
exercise program.
Over the years, our bodies receive and
retain enormous amounts of stress and
tension from all aspects of our lives.
Mental, emotional, and physical stress
affect our body movements, posture,
thoughts, personality, and overall
performance in daily living. For some,
tension even becomes a dominant trait
of who they are. In Tai Chi, moving
postures and meditation techniques are
used to teach the practitioner how to
achieve a more relaxed and focused
state. This leads to a reduction in
tension, as well as a dramatic
awareness and increase of our vital life
energy (chi).
All this happens through improvements in coordination, posture, concentration, and breathing. Here
we learn to move mindfully, more efficiently, and less destructively. In many ways Tai Chi is the study
of you and how you interact with your life.
