Tai Chi and Qi Gong World Day is celebrated in Porto with free classes

World Tai Chi Day is celebrated all around the world on the last Saturday of April and Porto will join the celebration with free classes on 27 April. Everyone is invited to convene at the Park Oriental of the City of Porto.

People of all ages and experience levels are invited to join a free class of tai chi chuan, at 11am, and another of qi gong, about one hour later. Classes are free, but prior registration is required.

This event is promoted by the Tai Chi Centre Studio, jointly with Porto City Hall, and PortoLazer.

Besides celebrating Chinese traditions, this initiative aims at providing the perfect setting to finding inner peace amidst everyday turmoil, by promoting a gentle form of exercise that can very well be the ideal activity for the rest of your life.

As it is an outdoor event, it is dependent on favourable weather conditions, but in case it rains, classes will be held at the Pavilhão Municipal Pêro Vaz de Caminha.
