Foundation of Flow
Live training for electronic music professionals
May 9th - June 6th
Electronic music artists and professionals, reduce your stress and anxiety levels, perform at your best and improve the quality of time spent with your loved ones, by learning Tai Chi’s basic principles and main movements.
Do your hands feel sweaty before going on stage or to an important meeting?
Are your heart and mind racing under pressure?
Is your high demanding career leaving you exhausted on your “free” time?
I get it because I’ve been there. 13 years ago, as I was starting my artist management agency, I experienced a lot of stress and anxiety. Wearing multiple hats in my business, juggling with a multitude of new tasks, while going out continuously to network. After a few months, my body system crashed: I was having a burn out. It took me a few years to recover my mental, physical and emotional health, and I can say that Tai Chi saved my life!
Tai Chi or Tai Chi Chuan is an internal Chinese martial art, practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. Tai Chi promotes the flow of Qi energy through the body which helps increase flexibility and suppleness, while exercising the muscles. The smooth, gentle movements help inspire calm and focus within the mind, leading to relaxation.
Benefits of Tai Chi include:
- lowering anxiety and stress levels
- reducing and eliminating insomnia
- increased concentration
- a better body balance
- improving flexibility
- reinforcing the coordination between the different parts of the body.
Hands Move like Clouds
By moving the two hands at the same time, we stimulate both sides of our brain. This is called crossed-crawl.
”The cross-crawl is simply a form of cross-lateral body movements--movements where you use opposition, like crawling, walking, or swimming.
Neuroscientists have long known that cross-body movements help the left and right hemispheres of your brain to connect and coordinate. This is important because the more your hemispheres connect, the more optimally you perform on any given task.”
