Tai Chi: fun + ton of benefits

Tai Chi began in China centuries ago, as a way to combine techniques from martial arts and meditation practices. It involves performing a series of postures & movements in a flowing, continuous manner. The poses are not based on strength but rather on focus & precision, making Tai Chi ideal for all ages and skill levels. 

Harvard Medical School says "Tai Chi could be the perfect activity for the rest of your life". Selected benefits:

• Burns calories & improves muscle strength
• Improves ballance
• Improves flexibility, and muscle control
• Improves immunity
• Lowers blood pressure
• Reduces anxiety & depression
• Improves sleep 

For all levels:
The poses are easy to follow and there are usually about 15-20 people in the group so you can go as fast or as slow as you want, and you improve all the time.
