Tai Chi is an ancient Taoist art practiced by millions of people every day, by both old and young alike.

 An ancient exercise practiced for over 700 years it can be used to help alleviate the symptoms of certain illnesses or to maintain the health one already has. 

In the practice of Tai Chi one learns how to relax the entire body completely, even relaxing deep to the bones.  In complete relaxation the blood can circulate freely and without obstruction supplying the brain and organs with as much oxygen as possible.  Increasing balance, agility and strength the body will also have less chance of injury in a fall or accident.

 Tai Chi is a very breath orientated art form ( Qi Gong ).  One must mold the movements to the breath, and when the movements are done as slow as possible the breaths become very long and deep.  Also this will increase the oxygen in the blood improving vitality, stamina and eventually bringing one’s self back to the pliability of an infant. 

The form consists of a certain amount of postures, depending on the style being practiced, and moving from posture to posture slowly and without pause.  The body is pushed and pulled by the legs and the torso and arms are controlled by the waist.  In the turning of the waist the spine is turned, loosened and eventually straightened to perfect posture, increasing circulation to the brain.  This perfect posture will also cause the organs to sit perfectly in place allowing each one to function to the best of their ability.  Tai Chi also strengthens, opens and loosens the joints of the body making the practitioner more comfortable and less prone to injury.
