T'ai Chi Chih: Joy Thru Movement
Experience "joy thru movement" as we practice 20 simple, fluid movements in the non-martial art of T'ai Chi Chih, a moving meditation. These movements can be performed by anyone of any ability. The purpose of T’ai Chi Chih is to circulate and balance the intrinsic energy, the vital force of the body known as “chi.” Originated by Justin Stone in 1974, some of the many reported benefits of consistent practice include regulated blood pressure, weight and stress reduction, mental alertness, increased balance, greater energy and peak performance.
