"Tai
Chi class has taught me relaxed strength. The more relaxed I am,
the stronger I can be, both in body and mind. I can handle
everday stresses of life better and my outlook on life tends to
improve. The Tai Chi forms we practice loosen up arthritic and
tight joints and help me move freely with more confidence and less
pain. When I leave class I leave with the feeling I can handle
anything. "

The MAYO CLINIC
Despite its ancient history, tai chi has been studied
scientifically
only in recent years. And that research is suggesting that tai chi may
offer numerous other benefits beyond stress reduction, including:
- Reducing anxiety and depression
- Improving balance and coordination
- Reducing the number of falls
- Improving sleep quality, such as staying asleep longer at night and feeling more alert during the day
- Slowing bone loss in women after menopause
- Lowering blood pressure
- Improving cardiovascular fitness
- Relieving chronic pain
- Improving everyday physical functioning
