Beautiful Balance

SASSA February 2012 newsletter
What do Lou Reed, Mel Gibson and Jet Li have in common? Aside from being celebrities of the highest order, they all practice the ancient form of internal martial arts called tai chi. In the Philippines, tai chi is alive and well. For this month's issue of the Sassa Activewear News, we talked to one of the country's most dedicated tai chi and qigong instructors, Irene Chia.
Irene started doing tai chi in the early nineties, training under several tai chi teachers from 2005 to 2007. She has been a tai chi and qigong instructor since 2006, teaching Tai Chi for Arthritis / Back Pain / Diabetes, Osteoporosis; beginners and intermediate Tai Chi; Kung Fu Fan 1 and 2; Chen Fan; 32 Sword Form; Shibashi Qigong; Eight-section Brocade Qigong; and Five Animal Frolics Qigong. Today, Irene is the Director and Senior Instructor of the Peace Blossoms Internal Arts Society, and the main organizer of the annual World Tai Chi and Qigong Day Celebrations in the Philippines from 2009 to 2012.
Irene stuck to the practice of tai chi and qigong because it helped improve her balance and coordination, and gave her good health, in general. Tai chi improved my disposition and helped me manage stress and cultivate a positive outlook in life, she reveals.
Tai chi is an ancient Chinese form of movement which integrates mind-body coordination, proper breathing and cultivation of internal energy (chi). It is considered to be the melting pot of the internal arts, and one of the earliest sources of the different martial art styles that we know today. Tai chi relaxes the mind and body and helps fight stress, improve balance, flexibility and posture. Regular practice generally leads to better mind and body health.
Tai chi is also perfect for women because it helps manage osteoporosis, increases bone density and improves posture. According to research, the practice of tai chi burns about 280 calories per hour, and may also stimulate metabolism in regular practitioners.
Irene says, To sustain the practice of tai chi, you need discipline, will and patience. If you are interested in learning tai chi, the first step is to look for a competent instructor to avoid injuries and ensure that your form, posture and alignment are correct.
