What is T’ai chi?
T’ai chi is an ancient Chinese practice of slow, flowing movements that reduces stress and promotes proper breathing, relaxation, and balance. The focus is on concentration, breathing, alignment, weight-shifting, and relaxation.

T’ai Chi is for all ages and all fitness levels. There is no pressure or stress on any joints, ligaments, or muscles. T’ai Chi is a wonderful discipline for promoting healthy minds and bodies in this increasingly fast-paced world.
