Tai chi is an elegant form of exercise that originated in China and is being practised by people all over the world nowadays. It entails a series of slow, deliberate motions that are accompanied by deep breathing.

Tai chi, also known as “tai chi chuan”, is a mild physical exercise and stretching regimen that is non-competitive and self-paced. Each posture flows seamlessly into the next, ensuring that your body is constantly in motion.

Tai Chi has many styles. Within each style, there are variants. Some forms emphasise wellness, while others emphasize the martial arts side of Tai Chi. Unlike yoga, Tai Chi is another form of meditative movement. It is a low-impact exercise that puts less strain on muscles and joints, making it suitable for people of various ages and fitness levels. Because tai chi is a low-impact workout, it will be especially beneficial for older adults who might otherwise be unable to exercise.

Tai chi is usually appealing to people because it is affordable and does not require any particular equipment, can be practiced indoors or outdoors, one can practise tai chi alone or in a group.  When learned correctly and practised on a regular basis, it can be an effective part of a comprehensive health-improvement programme.
