What is Tai Chi

A tai chi practice involves slow, flowing movement — and with that comes a host of health benefits, including better balance, mobility, and coordination. Tai chi (also called tai chi chuan or taijiquan) is a mind-body exercise that combines movements, meditation, and deep breathing.

The word “tai” means “supreme,” “chi” means “boundary,” and “chuan” means “fist” or “movement.” Put those together, and tai chi chuan translates to a method of movement that cultivates inner peace, power, and awareness, and fosters overall wellness.
