Although yoga includes physical exercise, it is also a lifestyle practice in which exercise is just one component .Training your mind , body, and breath, as well as connecting with your spirituality, are the main goals of yoga. This is done through the practice of asanas (physical postures), pranayams (breathing practices), dhyana (meditation), and yogic kriyas (cleansing processes).

Taichi has been practiced in china for centuries as a martial art, as an exercise, as walking meditation, and as a means of improving the flow of internal energy within the body. Taichi is also a preventive and curative branch of Chinese medicine. Because of taichi’s emphasis on correct form and feeling each movement, it is practiced very slowly and gently .It is completely non-impact, yet involving the entire body.
Taichi promotes strength, stamina and flexibility, while tempering the joints of practitioners .As the whole body moves as one, Taichi cultivates the link between mind and body, enhancing balance and coordination, for the body it is an exercise, for the mind it is a study in concentration, will power, visualization, and a system of spiritual meditation.
Mr Macha Ratna Maharjan, Taichi instructor, joint secretary of the Nepal Taichi Chuan Federation and silver medalist of 10th south Asian Games 2006 has been practicing taichi since 1989 with shifu Karma Lama.
HBMC is delighted to offer this new specialized addition to our programme, come and start your Saturdays with a two hour taichi session , no advanced booking required .Please contact hbmc for drop in and special monthly rates.
