What is Tai Chi?
Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing.
Who can do Tai Chi?
Tai chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. In fact, because tai chi is a low impact exercise, it may be especially suitable if you're an older adult who otherwise may not exercise.
This class combines mental focus with deliberate graceful movements that improves strength, agility, flexibility, coordination and challenges balance. Tai chi can help lower blood pressure, improve balance and can reduce fall frequency.
