Qigong (a form of Tai Chi)

This class is part of our Havant programme funded by Parkinson's UK for people with Parkinson's and their carers. Everyone is welcome, no matter if you have tried it before and people work at their own pace.

Tai Chi and Qigong (pronounced ‘chi kung’) are gentle exercise styles. They use movement and mindfulness to increase flexibility, improve balance and help walking. Concentrating on smooth, flowing movement, along with breathing, helps people with Parkinson’s relax their body. It reduces stress and can also help manage pain, boost your immunity, and improve your general health over time.

Research has shown that people with Parkinson’s who practised Tai Chi for 6 months could walk better, had better posture and had fewer falls than those not who did not practice Tai Chi.
