About the Practice of Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a slow, soft, continuous stepping sequence that circulates forces (mostly gravitational) through the practitioner to develops bones, muscles, tissues, and neurology thereby optimizing human response. Think: postural medicine.
Health Benefits
Tai Chi is about moving optimally. The 108 moves of the 'set' are performed in a variety of postures aligned with gravitational forces to protect the anatomical structures. Therefore, all the benefits of moving are available such as:
​
-
Balance
-
Flexibility
-
Body Awareness
-
Resilient Strength
-
Circulation of lymph, blood
​
In addition, Tai Chi provides:
​
-
a Brain Exercise by challenging the memories of the postures and developing neurological connection such as through proprioception
-
A Meditative component resulting via ie: continuous flow of movement, gaze, slow speed
-
An aerobic exercise due to the sustained 25-30 minutes required for the completion of the 108 moves of the set
​
These health benefits are usually noticed within the first two months and can continue to enhance health for a life time!
