Tai Chi Chuan, slow and smooth and graceful in tempo, has been called “moving meditation.” Used in China for centuries to promote fitness and health, it can rejuvenate and energize the mind, body and spirit.

Practitioners report benefits ranging from improved flexibility and range of motion, reduced muscle fatigue and nerve pain, and emotional calm, mental clarity, and spiritual tranquility.

By harmonizing breathing with slow, precise changes in bodily movement, Tai Chi Chuan releases the fundamental energy that helps us all thrive in our daily lives—the basic force that the Chinese call “Chi.”

This energy release can be far more effective than Western prescribed antidepressants and other chemical-based medications, with many positive side effects, including improved circulation and muscular flexibility.

It’s still a martial art, but one that can be practiced and embraced by anyone, old and young, disabled and able-bodied, regardless of previous training or physical conditioning.
