About Tai Chi

Tai chi chuan (taijiquan) is a Chinese martial art that is also a superb exercise for health. Suitable for all ages, its gentle movements integrate body, mind and breathing in a way that has profound effects on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Recent medical studies have shown tai chi can have a significant impact on a variety of health conditions. Tai chi can:

• Help manage or prevent cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and chronic heart failure
• Improve balance, bone health and musculoskeletal strength and flexibility
• Reduce levels of stress hormones and enhance overall immune function
