What is Tai Chi?
Tai chi, an ancient Chinese martial art known for its slow, relaxed movements, is both a form of self-defense and a moving meditation. The movements are typically circular and never forced. The muscles and joints are relaxed rather than tensed. These gentle, yet dynamic movements increase physical stamina and balance and help you release mental and emotional stress.
What to Expect
The movements are simple, often referred to as “complex simplicity.” The practice is also described as “meditation in motion” because it promotes non-competitive, gentle flowing physical movements. While doing the TaiChi movemnents, one can drop into a deep state of serene relaxation.
TaiChi is recommended by the National Arthritis Foundation to increase muscle flexibility and build muscle strength gradually. Other known benefits, to mention a few: lower blood pressure, relieve stress, increase stamina, improve balance, increase flexibility & agility, increase circulation, improve muscle strength, improve breathing, improve visualization and relaxation skills, improve range of motion and balance.
