BUCKS TAI CHI

Tai Chi is an Ancient Chinese form of co-ordinated body movements often termed meditation or stillness in movement.
It involves slow and controlled movements of a non-jarring nature, breathing exercises to stimulate the flow of energy (Chi), and meditation to focus and calm the mind.
Tai Chi as a martial Art, however focus these days is mainly on healing and rejuvenation of the body.

Tai chi is a perfect exercise system because there is little danger of hurting oneself and the whole body is exercised symmetrically.
Doing exercise in a slow manner is a lot more difficult than trying to go slowly because the body’s stabilising muscles are working hard.
This develops core strength as well as improving balance and co-ordination.
Importantly is the relaxation that tai chi offers through the focus of the mind as well as the correct deep breathing that is taught. Deep breathing calms the nervous system, improves lung capacity, increases oxygen intake.
