What is Tai Chi?
Mar 24, 2024
Tai Chi is actually a Chinese Martial Art; however, these days, it is mostly used as a health exercise that promotes vitality, structural balance, strength and longevity for people of all ages. It utilizes specific breathing patterns which strengthen the respiratory system and calms the nervous system. The deep breathing also strengthens the diaphragm and abdomen which aids in digestion.
The slow, precise movements of Tai Chi strengthens the structure of the body, building strength in the muscle yet expanding flexibility, as well. As the body strengthens, ailments such as arthritis, osteoporosis and chronic pain are relieved and deterred. Proper alignment and weight shifting gives you better balance on your feet and balances the right and left sides of your body.
Tai Chi is a low impact exercise that can improve concentration and mind/body awareness.
Benefits of Tai Chi include:
- Increases your energy
- Improves your balance
- Strengthens your muscles
- Helps you breathe better
- Improves your memory
- Increases flexibility
- Helps to de-stress
If you are feeling out of balance, Tai Chi is great way to reclaim that balance for yourself. Look for a local Beginning Tai Chi class in your area. We also have a live Zoom Tai Chi class available, if you are interested. The sessions run month to month. To register, click here: A Zoom Tai Chi for Health 4-week Session
Have a super great day!
