Tai chi is a self-healing practice that has many health benefits. Like qi gong, tai chi is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and martial arts and traditionally viewed as a self-defense practice to balance vital energy (Qi). Its coordinated, balanced, gentle flowing, rhythmic and meditative movements results in deep relaxation, improved body awareness, flexibility and fitness. Its proven physical and mental benefits include relieving stress, preventing depression, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, COPD, heart failure, arthrosis, and improving the quality of life.
