Tai Chi
Tai Chi (also written as T'ai Chi, Taiji, Tai Chi Chuan, among others) is a slow-motion, moving meditative exercise for relaxation, health and self-defense. Originally from China, Tai Chi has gained enormous popularity in America and throughout the rest of the world for its health benefits.
One of the most common questions we get asked is, "What are the benefits of Tai Chi?"
Tai Chi has many benefits, as our members will readily attest to. Some of the benefits our members have attributed to their Tai Chi practice include: stress reduction, improved circulation, the lessening of arthritic and other pain, an increase in flexibility, lowered blood pressure, and improved balance. In our class we practice predominately Yang-style Tai Ji Quan.
