What is Tai Chi?
Dating back over 2,500 years from China, tai chi has become increasingly popular throughout the world. Tai chi, often described as meditation in motion, is believed to clear your mind and reduce your stress through focused concentration on the movements, it also helps with anxiety and depression. It can also improve mood and quality of life. Tai chi is a wonderful exercise choice for seniors because the slow and steady movements are low-impact and can easily be adapted
