'Ki Class' is Grandmaster Chang’s own unique blend of breathing exercises, stretching, and meditation to help you relax, become more flexible, and to harness your inner energy.
What is Ki?
Ki can be translated as life force or internal energy. In essence, it is the infinite energy and potential that exists within each of us.
What is Ki exercise?
Ki exercise is composed of various activites to develop mind, body and spirit. The class involves slow natural body movements, abdominal breathing and Ki meditation. In essence, Korean Ki exercise provides all the benefits of yoga, Tai Chi and meditation in one discipline.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of the Ki exercise is to give individuals the opportunity to realise their own inner potential. Natural manifestation of this inner power keeps our mind and body peaceful, soft, healthy and confident. Most of all, it awakens the capacity for loving. This state is called self-actualisation or enlightenment.
With regular practice of ki exercise, it is possible to keep blood and energy circulation flowing smoothly in the entire body and prevent disease. This will enable you to relax more easily and bring you peace, joy and a positive view towards life and the world. This is an enriching experience, irrespective of age, physical ability or meditative experience.
