The purpose of this course is to introduce the philosophy and practice

of Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese health exercise. Tai Chi is a sequence of

gestures and movements that are gentle and fluid yet have profound

power. It is a form of energy cultivation and internal martial art. You’ll

learn the techniques of relaxation, breath control, balance, internal

strength, mental concentration and visual focus. Tai Chi practice has

been known to have tremendous health benefits such as reducing

tension, high blood pressure, and arthritis. Through Tai Chi exercises

students will experience improved overall health by stimulating and

balancing chi flow (life energy) in the body.
