Tai Chi - Community Class @ Scots
What is Tai Chi Chuan?
Tai Chi has been practiced in China for centuries as a martial art, as exercise, and as a means of improving the flow of internal energy (chi) within the body.
Because of Tai Chi's emphasis on correct form and feeling each movement, it is practiced very slowly and gently. Completely non-impact, yet involving the entire body, Tai Chi promotes, strength of practitioners.
Because the whole body moves as one, Tai Chi cultivates the link between mind and body, enhancing balance and coordination.
