Tai Chi at Body and Mind Healing
Learning Tai Chi for those who wish to learn the internal art of Wudang Tai Chi (Taiji) and Chi Kung / Qi Gong helps you to harness your healing and mind power and self-confidence through Tai Chi, the art of movement and stillness.
🌟 Why Choose Our Tai Chi Immersion?
🧠 Deep Mental Clarity & Stress Relief: Tai Chi serves as a moving meditation. The slow, deliberate sequences quiet an overactive mind, significantly lower cortisol levels, and reset your nervous system.
🤸♂️ Enhanced Balance, Posture & Core Strength: Every movement builds structural awareness. You will gently strengthen your legs, open tight joints, and improve your physical stability without straining your body.
⚡ Boosted Energy & Natural Vitality: Your breathing starts to harmonise with the development of your skilful movements; you clear internal energetic blockages. This unlocks a steady flow of Qi (life force energy) that leaves you feeling deeply refreshed.
Tai Chi - What you will learn
You will learn in stages and step by step the connecting Tai Chi movements in the powerful and elegant Tai Chi hand forms, and you will also learn other hidden aspects and dynamics within your Wudang Tai Chi Chuan practice. Tai Chi Chuan, known as the Supreme Ultimate Fist, is primarily an internal martial art in respect to the internal power and energy of life and our interaction of duality. You will learn how your Tai Chi practice interacts with the principles and concepts of Taoism. Tai Chi practice has many health benefits and takes time for development and cultivation to be able to practise Tai Chi correctly. The more time you have, the better your instructor can help you in your development, and the better your Tai Chi improves.
Tai Chi For Health
The movements in the Tai Chi forms also help to keep us healthy. Tai Chi improves concentration, centres and develops the mind. The movements of Tai Chi help to stimulate the joints and the skeletal structure and stretch the ligaments, tendons and muscles, improving muscle tone and flexibility. Due to Tai Chi's controlled movements, it is great for your cardiovascular system, improving overall heart health and function. Tai Chi forms and practices also incorporate self-defence, helping us with our daily interaction with the world.

Tai Chi History
"Dating back to the 12th century, Taoist master Chang San Feng 张三丰: is widely recognized as the father of this internal art. Legends say that while residing on Wudang Mountain, he witnessed a profound battle between a bird and a snake. This natural encounter inspired him to develop a fluid, internal movement system. By weaving the core principles of Taoism into physical practice, he created a moving meditation that builds immense internal strength, focus, and mental clarity."

Our Tai Chi Style History
"Our lineage stems from Master Chen Tin Hung 鄭天熊, who preserved the traditional southern Chinese Wudang Tai Chi style. Born in Guangdong Province in 1930, his foundational training came from Qi Minxuan, an exceptional practitioner from mainland China. After moving to Hong Kong in 1946, Master Chen Ting Hung achieved full instructor status by 1950. Renowned for his practical Tai Chi skills and full-contact application, his rigorous teachings preserved the true martial and energetic depth of the art until his passing in 2005."

Body & Mind Healing offers courses of Tai Chi for all levels in Chiang Mai throughout the year.

Tai Chi Courses and Tai Chi Grading
Our Tai Chi courses have a grading system for those who wish to be certified; we currently have 7 Tai Chi levels. Please be aware that it is not possible to learn Tai Chi in a few weeks. Those that do not wish to be Tai Chi certified are still welcome to join us, and our Tai Chi standards are high for all of our students regardless.

Tai Chi Instructor Training
For those of you who are interested in teaching Tai Chi, you would need to invest more time to develop the skill to be able to transmit your Tai Chi knowledge to your students of the future. Tai Chi level 1 gives each student their Tai Chi foundation and is a prerequisite for instructor levels; Tai Chi level 2 is when we start developing you as a Tai Chi instructor, and the preceding levels are developed as you return to continue your Tai Chi training at Body and Mind Healing.

How We Teach Tai Chi
There is a step-by-step progression in learning Tai Chi at Body and Mind Healing taught to all students, which will help each student develop a better understanding of what Tai Chi is about. Learning step by step helps each Tai Chi student to remember the sequencing of the Tai Chi hand form; it also allows our Tai Chi instructor to guide each Tai Chi student correctly and make the necessary corrections and adjustments from the beginning to improve the way each of our students practises Tai Chi.
*
The Tai Chi Student
Tai Chi training requires the student to have a patient attitude towards their Tai Chi practice, as we prefer our Tai Chi students to learn correctly whatever they are being taught in our Tai Chi classes. The longer you stay the more Tai Chi you will learn.
At our shop, martial art professional training trousers and Tai Chi slippers are available:
Dear Rod.
It has again been amazing to follow your Tai Chi classes.
I appreciated once more your teaching skills, your patience, your humour and your unique ability to follow many students at different levels at the same time.
I really had a great time learning from you; the class mood and energy were always positive, and moreover, it was fun!
Thank you so much for your dedication. Alex - February 2025
