Relax with Sunset Tai Chi

Cool down after a long day! Master-teacher Ramel Rones gently guides you through a series of restorative mind/body exercises that will help you calm down, recuperate from stress, and release tension.

The simplified, short Yang-style Sunset Tai Chi sequence is practiced to both the left and right to help you develop symmetry and balance. This easy mind/body practice can be done sitting or standing. It uses gentle yoga poses, purifying movements and meditations of qigong, and relaxing tai chi stances and exercise.

Sunset Tai Chi will improve your circulation of blood and qi energy, counteract the effects of stress and fatigue, and promote your health and vitality.

• Choose a short, medium, or long practice to relax and rejuvenate after a long day.

• Experience moving meditation and deep breathing to feel calm and focused.

• Boost your natural healing of chronic conditions, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, insomnia, osteoporosis, and cancer.

This tai chi form is used as a mind/body intervention at Dana Farber Cancer Institute to strengthen the immune system as a complementary approach for cancer prevention and treatment, and for recovering from side effects and symptoms, as published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
