What is the Art of Tai Chi?
As people from all walks of life are discovering, Tai Chi is
a highly enjoyable way to be relaxed and healthy. Tai Chi brings you inner peace, joy and
vitality.
It appears to be a slow, graceful dance, but behind the
deceptively simple movements is a wealth of philosophy, medicine and science.
Originally developed as a martial art, Tai Chi is based on
fluid movements which relax and stimulate every part of your body.
Tai Chi is about balance and harmony, but most of all it is
about human happiness.

"Relaxation does not mean nothing or
emptiness.
The Tai Chi movements are relaxed, but
alive."

How Does Tai Chi Work?
The continuous flowing movements of Tai Chi are based on the
principle that running water never stagnates. The gentle movements relax your muscles and
joints while strengthening your body.
Through movement and meditation, Tai Chi brings you health of
body and peace of mind.
Does Tai Chi Reduce Stress?
Tai Chi uses calming, structured movements to counteract the
stress of living in today’s fast society. Your mind is constantly stimulated and
strained by work, relationships, money, etc.
Even in sleep, your mind remains active. An over-stressed
mind makes errors and interferes with the healthy functioning of the body. Your mind and
body will begin to rest thoroughly in the tranquil state that comes with Tai Chi practice.
