HEALTH BENEFITS
Scientific research has shown that Tai Chi stimulates the central nervous system, lowers blood pressure, and relieves stress whilst gently toning the muscles without strain. The rhythmical movements massage the internal organs to improve their function, enhancing digestion, the elimination of wastes and creating enhanced blood circulation.

Although beginners perform the movements slowly at first, as their general health and ability improve, can then be performed with lower postures and in a more dynamic manner that provides the same beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system as jogging or high-impact aerobics, but without the stress and strain.

Tai Chi develops flexibility, toning muscles in the lower body, increasing strength of lower limbs - especially the thighs, buttocks and calves to improve balance (thus preventing falls), and since the movements are performed while standing assist in bone formation and strengthening that helps to prevent the onset of osteoporosis .

Tai Chi requires no special clothing or equipment and can be done even in a small space. The best way to learn is in a class from an experienced instructor who can guide you through the positions. Tai Chi may be practiced by virtually anyone, regardless of age, sex, or current level of physical fitness.
