WHAT IS TAI CHI CHUAN?
T’ai Chi Chuan, in its purest form, is nothing less than the manifestation of a human being in perfect harmony with Nature and Culture. T’ai Chi begins with awareness of stress, then brings understanding of body/mind/spirit to achieve harmony. • ENERGIZING: The slow steady movements of T’ai Chi enhance the circulation of vital energy, or chi, throughout the body. • RELAXING: By understanding the inherent principles of good posture and efficient movement, your body and psyche can be at ease, even during times of stress. • UNIFYING: Body and mind work together to develop a new level of kinesthetic awareness—a more unified sense of being. • EFFICIENT: Once you have learned the T’ai Chi form, a time investment of just 10 minutes in the morning and evening is the minimum needed for your personal maintenance. • EXERCISE FOR EVERYONE: Women and men of all ages can benefit from this enjoyable and healthy exercise, which gives you strength and improves balance. No prior experience is necessary.
