Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese mind/body art that consists of slow, continuous movement coordinated with mindfulness and balanced breathing. Sometimes referred to as “meditation in motion,” it integrates the body, mind, and spirit to improve health, fitness and relaxation.
When practiced consistently over time, Tai Chi:

• Aligns posture and improves balance
• Relieves stress and improves mental well-being
• Balances and strengthens qi (life energy)
