Tai Chi (Classical Yang)
The ancient art of Tai Chi uses gentle flowing movements to reduce the stress of today's busy lifestyles and improve health. Tai chi is often described as "meditation in motion" because it promotes serenity through gentle movements — connecting the mind and body.
Anyone, regardless of age or physical ability, can learn and practice Tai Chi. It doesn't take physical prowess. Rather, Tai Chi emphasizes technique over strength.
