Tai Chi

Originally practised only as a martial art – Tai Chi has evolved to become the greatest single mind and body exercise system in existence. It slowly develops the natural energy, strength and flexibility within us creating a unique system of whole body movement. To do this Tai Chi relaxes the muscles and joints and connects all parts of the body together. This allows the smooth flow of energy within the body and is reflected in effortless body movement. The health benefits of Tai Chi are many:

  • improved physical balance
  • regulates blood pressure
  • improves circulation
  • better postural alignment
  • strengthens muscles
  • improves flexibility
  • increases physical co-ordination
  • focuses the mind

You never stop learning Tai Chi – it is the art of movement and you can continue to practice, improve and appreciate it for the whole of your life.
