Taichi & Qigong · 太极
Meditation
in motion
Taichi is more than exercise. It brings a breath of Far Eastern wisdom to the heart of our city.
Twice a week, the Audi Konfuzius-Institut Ingolstadt invites you to Taichi and Qigong with master Dr. Yuan. These traditional Chinese movement arts combine flowing, mindful movement with breathing and concentration. They improve flexibility, balance and inner calm and are a welcome counterbalance to everyday life.
Beginners and advanced practitioners alike are very welcome. Just come along and join in!

Taichi Yang 24 form
The 24 form, a short form of the Yang style, was developed in China in 1956 to make Taichi more accessible without losing the core principles of the classical Yang style.
The 24 movements flow into one another. Typical features are a calm pace, soft transitions, an upright posture, rounded arm movements and the conscious coordination of breathing and movement.
Benefits
- Balance, stability and coordination
- Flexibility and healthy joints
- Stronger leg muscles
- Concentration and inner calm
- Less stress, more wellbeing
Taichi 10 form
This compact form with only ten movements is particularly suitable for beginners. Because it can also be practised in small spaces, it is also known as “room Taichi”.
Eight Brocades (Ba Duan Jin)
The Eight Brocades are a classic Qigong sequence for strengthening health. The slow, mindful movements promote the flow of energy in the body, release tension and have a stabilising effect on breathing, circulation and mind.
Outdoors on the lawn,
indoors in the Aula.
In good weather, training takes place outdoors on the lawn of the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, in bad weather in the THI Aula. Participation is free and no registration is needed.
