Moving from inner connection

Exploring the body

It is all about fascia. Fascia is a sheet-like network of connective tissue that wraps around, separates, and support everything in our bodies – muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, organs, and even individual cells. Think of it a s continuous, flexible inner skeleton that helps hold structures together while still allowing them to move independently. Not only this, our energy pathways (meridians, qi-channels) flow through this water-rich network.

In Tai Chi Chuan we use our energy to flow smoothly throughout our body, we do this by the movements of the vorm. Each movement is directed by our breath, breath is Qi. The physical impuls of the movement does not come from the bones, muscles or joints but it is our fascia. The souplesse, the elasticity is by a hydrated, fluid-rich fascia.

Furthermore fascia contains a rich network of sensory nerve endings that continuously send information to the central nervous system. These signals are an important part of both interception (the internal sense of the body) and proprioception (the sense of position and movemement of our body).

This reads quite theoretical but Tai Chi Chuan is all about interception and proprioception. In this workshop we use these ’tools’ to feel the movements in a physical and on a subtle level. Moreover to actually feel, becoming aware how the fascia moves us. 

Come to this experience of Fascia & Tai Chi Chuan. and let us guide you to improve you Tai Chi Chuan a bit more and deeper.
