Taiji/ Tai Chi taster course in Willingen/ Sauerland

4.5 (2 Reviews) · Willingen , Germany

Summary

Certified prevention course, subsidized by health insurance companies from April 24 - 26 and October 16 - 18, 2026.
In the beautiful Sauerland, 5 minutes by car from Willingen in the middle of nature, we offer an intensive Tai Chi taster course. No previous knowledge is required.
At the weekend (Fri - Sun) you will get to know the Asian art of movement Tai Chi Chuan. When practiced regularly, Tai Chi improves flexibility and body balance, calms the mind, relaxes and leads to greater serenity. Breath and energy can flow freely and give us strength to cope with everyday life.

The course is open to anyone who wants to get to know Tai Chi, break the daily grind and get in touch with themselves and their body (again). The intensive course consists of 10 hours spread over three days, in which the topic of mindfulness is brought closer and the Tai Chi Yang short form "Ba chengyi si" is learned. Weather permitting, we look forward to practicing Tai Chi with you in the middle of nature on the numerous meadows and outdoor areas of the hotel!

Your Tai Chi master students Katja Möller and Uwe Kroggel are certified by the German Tai Chi and Qigong Association and run a Tai Chi school and a training center for prospective Tai Chi instructors and teachers in Langenfeld (Rhineland).

Katja and Uwe are a good team when it comes to giving beginners an insight into the Taiji exercises. Very competent, very patient and didactically valuable the first knowledge is conveyed. We have benefited greatly and continue to practice!
