Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese system of slowly flowing movements and shifts of balance. This strengthens the legs while conditioning the tendons and ligaments of the ankles, knees and hips, increasing their range of motion and making them more resilient and less prone to injury. The constant weight shifts train balance and body awareness, leading to confident ease of movement within the form and in everyday life. Tai Chi is a physical exercise that focuses the mind, while conditioning the body. Practicing twenty minutes a day dissipates stress and reduces stress-related debilities, increases stamina and strengthens the body and will.
