What is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art tradition. Today, Tai Chi is a graceful form of exercise and stretching. It is a practice that involves slow, graceful, focused movements, accompanied by controlled deep breathing. Looking into the exercise further, I found it has so many benefits to our bodies:
- Decreased stress, anxiety and depression
- Improved mood
- Improved aerobic capacity
- Increased energy and stamina
- Improved flexibility and agility
- Improved muscle strength and definition
- Enhance quality of sleep
- Immune system
- Help lower blood pressure
- Improve joint pain
- Improve symptoms of congestive heart failure
- Improve arthritis pain
- Reduce risk of falls
Take charge of your health and start Tai Chi!
Brewster Place offers Tai Chi classes and even has a couple of classes in our new state of the art pool!
I think I may just attend a class to see!
Have a great day and stay peachy!
