World Tai Chi & Qigong Day

Check out our latest images from Downton Cuckoo Fair on Saturday 30th April 2022 when we celebrated World Tai Chi and Qigong Day with a short demonstration at the famous Maypole Green.

From hopeful beginnings in the Nelson Atkins Art Museum, Kansas City, World Tai Chi and Qigong Day has become a genuinely global phenomenon. Medical research proving the value of tai chi and qigong, amongst other practices such as yoga, is scant, but where it does exist there is clear evidence of positive results, albeit often with the proviso that a larger study is needed.
