Tai chi (Tie-Chee) is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements
performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing. Originally developed for self-defense, tai chi has evolved into
a graceful form of exercise that's now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as meditation in
motion, Tai Chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements. The tradition of Tai Chi dates back to at least the 15th century in
China, and the practice is based on the belief that balancing the opposite forces in the body (known as yin and yang) will encourage the flow
of chi (energy) through the body to promote health. You may also find Tai Chi appealing because it's inexpensive and requires no special
equipment. Tai Chi can be done anywhere, alone or in a group class. If you're looking for a way to reduce stress, consider Tai Chi and join
fellow Sun Lakers in developing strength in balance, stamina, and flexibility.
