Service Description

Tai Chi: A Path to Health and Vitality Tai Chi is a form of Qigong, a traditional Chinese practice that integrates gentle, flowing movement with diaphragmatic breathing and focused mental clarity. It is both a martial art and a moving meditation that harmonizes body, breath, and mind. The term Qi (pronounced “chee” or “ki”) translates to “life force,” referring to the vital energy circulating throughout the body. Gong means “cultivation” or “skill.” Together, Qigong describes the practice of cultivating and balancing life energy to support optimal health and wellbeing. Scientific research has shown that Tai Chi, as a mind-body practice, offers a wide range of health benefits. It is effective in treating and preventing many health conditions, and is known to improve muscular strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, balance, and self-confidence. As a weight-bearing exercise, Tai Chi also supports bone density. Its movements are performed slowly and gracefully, with relaxed muscles and loosely held joints. Practitioners breathe deeply and naturally, maintaining a calm and present state of mind. Tai Chi is accessible to people of all abilities and ages—it can be adapted to both seated and standing forms, making it an inclusive and lifelong practice for enhancing physical and mental health.
