World Tai Chi & Qigong Day

Join us on World Tai Chi & Qigong Day to celebrate the health and healing arts of Tai Chi and Qigong with over 100 cities in 80 countries. Participate in Mass Tai Chi right at 10am to synchronize with the global Tai Chi “wave” starting in the earliest time zones of New Zealand, and ending in Hawaii. Demos and participatory segments for practitioners include the Lok Hup Ba Fa, Sabre, 24 Tai Chi, Tai Chi Fan dance. This event is inclusive of everyone. Brand new beginners, or folks who are curious to learn and to try, can participate as of 11am in Qigong exercises, followed by any of the concurrent smaller group offerings including Seated Tai Chi, Tai Chi Mini Set (first 17 moves), Tai Chi Fan, and Foundations of Tai Chi. There will also be an Information booth available. Hosted by Mid Island Tai Chi Club, this event involved five other clubs in the Island including Canadian Tai Chi Academy, Chinese Taiji & Dance Club, Oceanside Tai Chi, Parksville Shores Tai Chi, and Tai Chi Nanaimo Association.
