Circulation

Qigong
Qigong is ideal for improving circulation. Much milder than conventional exercise, qigong exercises focus upon slow, controlled, natural movement and breathing.

Tai chi
Many medical trials have proven that tai chi improves circulation. One obvious advantage of tai chi is the fact that you can practice it between lessons.

Moderation
Rather than doing a lengthy workout, small sessions spaced throughout the day help to move the body without exertion or the risk of muscle tension.

Variety
A comprehensive tai chi syllabus offers a wide variety of training methods in order to challenge people of different ability levels and stimulate interest.

Muscle tension
One of the most common problems when it comes to circulation is muscle tension. This can be caused by any number of things but the worst part is that people usually don't realise that they are tense.

Open and lengthen

Inflexibility and stiffness restricts circulation so it is important to increase flexibility as a priority. The aim is to open and lengthen rather than stretch and force.
