Tai Chi

Tai Chi is the most unique of voyages into the human inscape. The essence of the art is moving meditation and the cultivation of chi, the intrinsic internal energy of the body-mind, which is itself the entire crux of Chinese culture and mind. The subtle, totally relaxed choreography of the art delivers unprecedented benefits of brain protection and smooth muscle enhancement that give more vigor and flexibility, better balance and mobility, and a sense of well-being such that the Harvard Medical School Book of Tai Chi agrees with a growing body of numerous papers declaring Tai Chi to be the preeminent exercise for any age, any condition, any starting point.
