Participants thoroughly enjoy the benefits and the fun of practicing the slow-motion art of Tai Chi. We are stronger mentally and physically. We have more energy and we balance better. Those who dislike more traditional exercise often love Tai Chi for the camaraderie of fellow students, sense of calm it brings amid the chaos of normal living, and for a good exercise workout without sweat.
