What is Tai Chi
Tai Chi exercises are a series of slow, gentle body movements combined with deep breathing and relaxation. They come from ancient China and are part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Tai Chi is often called “meditation in motion” because it helps relax the mind while moving the body.
During Tai Chi exercises, people perform smooth, flowing movements while focusing on breathing and body posture. These movements are believed to help balance the body’s energy called Qi (chi).
