TAI CHI: To be Balanced

TaiChi benefits

Tai Chi is a physical activity that originated in China.

It involves slow, deliberate movements of the whole body combined with a controlled transfer of body weight.

Studies show that regular practice of Tai Chi has the following benefits:

  • Improves blood pressure and reduces cardiovascular risk factors
  • Improves brain health and cognition
  • Improves posture, balance, and prevents falls
  • Improves strength and mobility
  • Improves mood
  • Improve sleep quality
  • Improve joint health and reduce pain in people with osteoarthritis
  • Supports the immune system to work effectively


Tai Chi, also known as shadow boxing, consists of a sequence of traditional Chinese movements, which are remarkably smooth and flowing and are accompanied by a harmonious breathing pattern. Practicing Tai Chi requires very focused concentration.
Tai Chi has a positive effect on the bodily organs, helps prevent illnesses, and has meditative qualities.
Tai Chi represents the primal state of the cosmos in Taoist philosophy. It is the source of heaven and earth, of Yin and Yang. The movements are soft, gentle, and gracious.
Tai Chi can be used for healing and gaining Chi (life force) energy, much like Chi Kung. When practicing Tai Chi, one constantly moves along with a series of steps, moving hands and feet in unison, compared to Chi Kung, where most sequences are stationary.
Due to its illness-preventing and health-improving qualities, Tai Chi is quickly gaining popularity.
TaiChi has proven positive effects on the nervous system, breathing, circulation, and digestion in many medical studies.
