Tai Chi and Qigong are two wonderful Chinese exercise systems. Powerful yet gentle, they have been practised for centuries by millions of people in order to improve overall physical health and mental wellbeing.

We’ve talked about the benefits of Tai Chi in a previous post. So today we thought we’d share some tutorial videos from local Tai Chi instructor Paul Nathan.

You can find a selection of Paul’s videos on our Facebook page or his YouTube channel. But for a quick go-to selection we’ve collected 8 of them below – enjoy!
