Full Day workshop- Introduction to Chen – 5 hours of CPD with Tai Chi Teacher Eva Koskuba

https://www.networks.nhs.uk/nhs-networks/tai-chi-for-health-and-rehabilitation-london-uk

Eva teaches Tai Chi, various types of Qigong and other aspects of Chinese internal arts focusing on health benefits. In 2006 she was accepted as a lineage disciple (20th generation of Chen style) by Master Chen Xiaowang after studying with him over twenty years. We practiced Silk Reeling exercises, which are the core of Chen style tai chi. These spiralling, coiling and whirling movements exercise all the joints and help to develop connections within the body through the dantian/centre of the body. These spiralling exercises involve the whole body in one continuous movement from the soles of the feet to the fingertips.

We shall explore six external and internal harmonies which helps us to co-ordinate all aspects of one’s body and mind to develop new ways of effortless and efficient movement. The external harmonies help us to organise our body in movement and internal harmonies describe how the intent generates movements and helps to produce internal strength.
