Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practiced as a graceful form of low impact exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing that culminates Qi (inner energy). The movements of Tai Chi can reduce the stress of today’s busy lifestyle and improve health.
Regular practice of Tai Chi can improve balance, enhance the immune system, increase core strength, control anxiety and maintain excellent health. Tai chi can be a positive part of an overall approach to improving your health.
The mind and body move freely through a relaxed state of mindfulness and Martial Arts movements.
The healing benefits of a Tai Chi Practice are amazing.
Tai Chi is an internal practice, encouraging oxygen exchange within the body and the organs. The practice encourages brain growth with new and strengthened neurological pathways. It is a "Moving Meditation" and an art that cultivates happiness, and strengthens the individuals and groups who practice together.
