Tai Chi, sometimes referred to as meditation in motion, is a slow-moving martial art. It is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of defined postures, flowing gracefully from one to the next without stopping. The practice of Tai Chi has been known to reduce anxiety, improve balance, flexibility, focus, build the immune system, and overall health. Scientific studies have proven Tai Chi to reduce stiffness and pain in people with arthritis and help with Parkinson's symptoms. Beginners will enjoy the Sun Style because of its high stances and easy postures. Simple Qi gong sets are included to loosen, stretch, and open the joints and tendons.
