Tai Chi is often called a moving meditation and is an ancient Chinese system of exercises which aim to bring body and mind together, increasing physical vitality and promoting clarity of thought. Breathing techniques and attention to posture are used to improve balance.
Tai Chi and Qigong can be practised for relaxation and reducing stress levels, or as gentle exercise which can increase mobility and range of motion. It is performed standing up (seated classes are also available) and without any equipment. Loose comfortable clothing and flat soled shoes are worn.
