Tai chi helps reduce stress and anxiety. And it also helps increase flexibility and balance.

  • Decreased stress, anxiety and depression
  • Improved mood
  • Improved aerobic capacity
  • Increased energy and stamina
  • Improved flexibility, balance and agility
  • Improved muscle strength and definition
Although more research is needed to determine all of the many health benefits of tai chi. Some evidence indicates that tai chi also may help:
  • Enhance quality of sleep
  • Enhance the immune system
  • Help lower blood pressure
  • Improve joint pain
  • Improve symptoms of congestive heart failure
  • Improve overall well-being
  • Reduce risk of falls in older adults
How to get started with tai chi
Although you can rent or buy videos and books about tai chi, consider seeking guidance from a qualified tai chi instructor to gain the full benefits and learn proper techniques.
​
From the First lesson - you learn to engage the body's natural anti-stress ability - at will.
From the very first lesson, you learn and practice engaging the natural anti-stress mode, the opposite of the stress response; by simple repeated practice, of straightforward, achievable, progressive activities. 
By directing the attention of the mind, to adopting a physical posture which reduces the stress signals, and promotes a  natural breath with a longer exhalation.. In a short space of time and practice, you will acquire the knowledge of how and why what you are learning works to reduce your over stimulated stress reaction, but also how to  relax in a single breath, and maintain focus for longer periods of time..
The best way to achieve all this is with personal instruction, although a small group can work well.  Once the basics have been absorbed, learning the techniques of the hand or weapons forms, and other aspects of tai chi chuan will deepen your understandig and ability, if that interests you.
The study and practice of tai chi chuan can have many forms and outlets, but it all starts with the basic building blocks find out more.
