Tai Chi: is a centuries-old Chinese exercise. All age groups can practice these non-strenuous, soft, flowing and relaxing movements to regain natural health and remain in good physical condition. Tai Chi will render the mind clear and peaceful. Tai Chi embodies the Chinese philosophy of the “Supreme Ultimate”. The rhythmic exercises reflect the principle of wholeness in which opposites are balanced as Yang and Yin: male & female, light & dark, firm & soft, active & passive, positive & negative, power and the yielding of it. Since the whole body is utilized in each movement, every joint is loosened and exercised. This can have a very beneficial effect on degenerative conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Tai Chi is a gentle respiratory therapy for breathing disorders such as asthma. Proper breathing ensures oxygen rich blood, which nourishes every cell, tissue and organ of the body. Tai Chi is known for its ability to help lower and control high blood pressure. Like all exercise Tai Chi strengthens the immune system.
