Taichi Ch’uan, also known as “meditation in motion,” or “Chinese Yoga,” originated in China hundreds of years ago. It has been taught worldwide as exercise, meditation, and martial art.
Taichi is primarily known in the West for its health benefits. The practice of Taichi is widely acknowledged for its improvement in the practitioner’s strength, balance, and coordination of the physical self. In addition, the mind’s powers of concentration, will, and relaxation are enhanced.
The fluid movement and emphasis on breathing create an environment in the body in which the Chi, or energy, is circulated. The practitioner is energized, rather than exhausted at the end of practice.
