Why T'ai Chi?

There's a reason T'ai Chi has been around for centuries: it's an incredibly effective way to improve your wellbeing. Despite being gentle and slow-moving, T'ai Chi can provide a big boost to your energy levels, mood, and overall health. Here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider practicing this calming martial art:

1. It's easy to learn!

• Easy on the body – Unlike other martial arts, T’ai Chi is a low impact form of exercise, making it easy on your joints and bones. Keep your mind and body in shape with this graceful art that mimics natural human movements.

• No extra equipment needed - Don’t have a large space or gym to work out in? No problem! To practice the T’ai Chi you learn in class, you only need your own body and some space to move in. This can be in your home, in a public gym, or even in a park!

• Can be done on your own or with a group – Whether you prefer learning and practicing with others or solo, T’ai Chi has many benefits to offer every type of person.

     2.  Anyone can do it!

• T’ai Chi is often described as “meditation in motion” as it requires focus and concentration, while consisting of slow, circular movements. Because it doesn’t have a hard physical barrier to entry, T’ai Chi is perfect for rehabilitation, and for those who have been sedentary and want to get back to being active again. Whether younger or older, a martial arts enthusiast or just someone looking to be more active, T’ai Chi may be the perfect activity for you!

     3.  It improves quality of life!

• Practicing T’ai Chi is a great way to improve the fitness of your body and mind. Through focused, meditative practicing, you will see improvements in areas like balance, cognitive function, and stress reduction. In fact, most doctors will recommend T’ai Chi as the number one exercise for seniors!
