It relaxes the body, calms the nervous system, benefits the heart and blood circulation, cures indigestion, loosens stiff joints, tones up muscles and refreshes the skin. It also increases your sensitivity and awareness, stimulates and increases your energy, brings out greater self-confidence and develops harmony between body and mind.

Yes, Tai Chi is suitable for everyone. Tai Chi is a recreational fitness system of flowing movements designed to exercise and develop the mind and the body in unison. Movements are performed at a slow pace with deep concentration and diaphragmatic breathing to bring about a state of tranquil relaxation. Tai Chi has been practiced and refined by the Chinese for more than 700 years. It is regarded as the physiological and physiotherapeutically part of Chinese medicine. Chinese Doctors are frequently Tai Chi practitioners themselves and often prescribe the exercise as part of the treatment for ailing, aging and convalescing patients. It teaches the philosophy of self-improvements vs external competition and internal harmony vs external striving. It teaches the art of gentle relaxing exercises and controlled body-flow movements, which gradually develop and strengthen the whole body evenly, increasing the body’s tolerance against diseases and illness, maintaining or regaining flexibility and helping to rejuvenate the whole person – body and mind. It is designed to provide general physical fitness while maintaining the body’s sensitivity and fluidity.

At home you should practice by first following the video to get a feel and then repeat the movements a couple of times specifically listening to the instructions. As Tai Chi utilises the principles of non-physical exertion and internal organic exercises by way of corrective breathing, controlled stretching and gentle artistic movements. You should be aware of your own limitations meaning if there is pain you should stop and readjust yourself to a position where it does not hurt. Do not over exert pressure on your body, do each movement slowly and focus on using the feet and legs to help move the body rather than focusing on the arm movement. If you can attend a nearby class, it is recommended that you attend the class to further your learning in benefiting yourself and your body.
