18^th Annual World Tai Chi & Qigong Day – Saturday, April 29, 2017

“One World … One Breath” – Thousands of participants from more than 80 countries and every time zone will come together on April 29, 2017 to observe peace, health and the positive energy associated with the practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. The 18^th Annual World Tai Chi & Qigong Day takes place here in Austin from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Asian American Resource Center, 8401 Cameron Road, Austin.

Tai Chi is widely practiced for its health benefits, and qigong (literally, “life energy cultivation”) is a holistic system of coordinated body posture, movement, breathing and meditation. Tai Chi is a generic term for internal martial arts originating from China. There are a variety of Chinese styles as well as internal martial arts from other origins.

Schools, groups and anyone interested at all levels are invited to join in the event. Local Tai Chi and Qigong communities, representing many styles, organize the event annually; this event is presented in collaboration with the Asian American Resource Center (AARC).
