OUR COMMITMENT
Why choose our San Francisco Tai Chi and Bagua classes in San Francisco
At Mike J. Ng Healthways, it is our mission to promote, preserve, uphold, and transmit the traditional teachings of Tai Chi (Taiji), Baguazhang, and Qigong (Chi Kung) for health improvement and well-being, fitness, and self defense.
We are dedicated to being a catalyst for your personal growth and development, helping you to restore harmony and achieve a strong mind and fit body, while giving you the power and confidence to live your best life.
Often called "moving meditation," Tai Chi, Bagua, and Qigong promote proper Qi (life force energy) flow by activating the body's meridian channels and tonifying one's internal organs such as the kidney, spleen, heart, lungs, and liver. This, in turn, helps to prevent diseases, slow down the aging process, and maintain optimal health.
Our San Francisco Tai Chi classes offer a safe, open, friendly, and supportive environment designed to help you develop a mind that is attentive and focused, yet calm, clear, and stable. In this way, practicing Tai Chi helps you to better manage stress and anxiety, and improves learning, memory, and brain function.
Our Bagua and Tai Chi classes in San Francisco also focus on developing whole-body awareness and cohesion. Mentally, this enhances concentration and adds a natural energy boost and sense of tranquility to your life.
Physically, you will feel stronger and more flexibile, coordinated, and balanced. By participating in our San Francisco Tai Chi and Baguazhang classes you will learn to release tension in the body, improve posture, strengthen your bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles, and prevent injuries such as sprains and falls.
