TAI CHI

Tai Chi is a highly respected and very popular form of traditional Chinese martial arts that has gained popularity around the world as a form of low-impact exercise and stretching that can be practiced by individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Based on principles of proper body alignment, Tai Chi is a system of rounded flowing movements performed in a mindful and meditative manner that help build muscle strength and improve overall balance and coordination.

 

The use of deep and controlled Qi Gong breathing practices not only help to relieve stress and cultivate inner peace but have also been found to be helpful for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it can help to improve lung function. Studies have shown that regular practice of Tai Chi can help to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve overall cardiovascular health.

 

Gentle on the joints and not requiring any special equipment, Tai Chi is an accessible and versatile form of exercise that can be especially beneficial for older individuals. When practiced regularly, Tai Chi promotes better health and overall wellness of mind, body, and spirit.
