Taichi Class

Tai Chi is an internal martial art of traditional Chinese culture that is valuable in promoting health, developing combat and self-defense skills, improving concentration and longevity. This ancient art uses a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing to reduce the stress of today’s busy lifestyles.

Tai Chi emphasizes complete relaxation, and is essentially a form of meditation, or what has been called “meditation in motion”, but it might well be called “medication in motion.” This gentle form of exercise can prevent or ease many ills of aging and promote the health of mind, body and soul through its soft, controlled movements.

It is said that practising Tai Chi in a quite time and tranquil place with open fresh air in the deep concentration and inner peace air is a great factor to help induce the body into a balanced and meditative state.

The morning Tai Chi class is recommended as one of our Halong Bay cruises tour’s highlights. Joining Tai Chi class on the sundeck in the early morning of the 2nd and/or 3rd day of the tour, you will have chane to enjoy the Bay’s outstanding scenic beauty of limestone islets rising from emerald waters. This activity will take your mind completely away from stress.

Our experienced Tai Chi master will instruct you how to use the conscious mind to guide the movements and let it lead the body, as you breathe in the fresh air and watch the sun rise behind jungle clad peaks. Because Tai chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, so it may be easily adapted for anyone, even if you’re an older adult who otherwise may not exercise or people confined to wheelchairs or recovering from surgery.

Start the day by a great experience with our daily Tai Chi lessons on sundeck of cruises.
