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. Info, (951) 381-1022.
