Tai Chi

Tai Chi has been referred to as yoga in motion. There are a number of forms which consist of a sequence of martial arts movements that often mimic the natural movements of animals and birds. The forms are slowly performed, softly and gracefully with smooth transitions between them. The practice of Tai Chi exercises is a practical way to maintain and improve your balance, alignment, fine-scale motor control, rhythm of movement, and so on.
