For thousands
of years Man has looked at the planets to find out more about the Universe that
surrounds us. Through the observation of the movements repeated by the planets,
the seasons, and nature in general, civilization has adapted its living cycles
to the cycles of the universe. Today, technology has perhaps made most city
dwellers forget the rhythm of seasons (sowing on specific dates and reaping on
others); it has become more important to return to the age-old knowledge of
Tai-Chi and study the movements that emulate the natural life-cycles. The study
of Cosmo-Dynamics incorporates slow movements that are used as a form of
relaxation, and teaches control of every part of the body. The movements
practiced are slow and fluent. Students will focus on developing control and
form as well as increasing muscle tone and improving flexibility. Self-defense
techniques are also learned unknowingly by practicing the forms. Students
studying Tai-Chi will achieve better conditioning for the body and, more
importantly, develop a sense of internal calm.
Cosmo-Dynamics (Tai-Chi) is
to learn to synchronize with the environment and move with the dynamics of the
cosmos. The form is following in synchronization with the movements of the
universe, looking for inner strength and balance in the universe using
introspection. It's about opening the mind and losing the structure.
