Tai Chi is a non martial  form consisting of 19 flowing movements and one pose. It is designed to balance, accumulate and circulate our life force, energy or chi from around and within you. These simple movements which can be done standing or sitting align you with this universal force. It is truly one of the first health programs that can be called holistic. These simple movements harmonize the body, mind and spirit.
 
Benefits are:
  • Improved balance, circulation and flexibility
  • Reduction of muscle tension
  • Better ability to focus and concentrate and mental clarity
  • Studies done at UCLA show Tai Chi helps Arthritis pain and movement
  • Increase of energy
  • Aids the immune system

The movements are done slowly, softly, and smoothly involving the “effort of no effort”, truly a moving meditation, easy to learn.
