3 Ways Tai Chi Will Save Your Life! The practice of Tai Chi can literally save, extend and improve the quality of your life. - Falling - Even a relatively short period of Tai Chi practice has been shown to be the best activity to improve balance and prevent falls, even better than strenuous exercise. In older adults falling is a leading cause of hospitalization and a loss of quality of life. Falling often leads to a broken hip, head trauma and a drastic change to your life.... Tai Chi develops strength and stamina in the lower body and develops nimbleness of movement, all of which gives you the ability to prevent life-altering falls. - Mindfulness - Tai Chi promotes increased awareness and mindfulness. When do accidents happen? When we are not paying attention to where we are and what we are doing in the moment. These mishaps can range from inconvenient, to life-changing to even life-ending. Greatly reduce the occurrence of accidents, from the irritating to the traumatic, by cultivating greater mindfulness and presence. Tai Chi directly cultivates and develops these life-enhancing and life-saving qualities. - Healing - The regular practice of Tai Chi is well documented to be a powerfully active force in the prevention of illness and in mitigating chronic conditions. You can keep debilitating or painful symptoms at bay through the ongoing practice of this ancient art. Even extending or ensuring the quality of Life is possible with an ongoing Tai Chi practice. Take charge of your health and optimize your energy with Tai Chi. If you have not yet come in to try some classes, you can still do so this weekend. Whether you are interested in greater energy and health levels or you would like to explore the mind-body integration of this gentle, yet dynamic internal art of Tai Chi, you can still take advantage of this opportunity, for a full week of classes. Experience greater energy, fitness and healing that mind-body integration provides. Would you like: more energy to be more fit greater stamina to heal old, nagging injuries less stress to ease or eliminate chronic conditions. Tai Chi is known to help in all these areas. Come and try for yourself. Give yourself the opportunity to experience greater health, fitness and well-being. Three classes available per week. All three classes available to everyone.
