Tai chi is a Chinese martial art that employs slow intentional movements, coordinated with breathing and imagery, to strengthen and relax the physical body and mind. It enhances and balances the flow of internal energy (qi), resulting in improved health, personal development, and self-defense.

It is a sequence of postures connected by flowing movement, practiced with focused breathing and a calm mind – a type of moving meditation. The slow, smooth movements gently stimulate the internal organs and joints, and improve energy circulation. Tai Chi is a gentle, low-impact exercise suitable for adults of any age and varying physical ability. Practicing Tai Chi can reduce stress, increase energy, balance, and flexibility, and ease symptoms of many health problems such as high blood pressure, asthma, back pain, and arthritis.
