The Benefits of TAI CHI by S.Sperry https://padlet.com/stevesperry85/kppnptm6elnvcr80 We’ve all been told to move more, but if you have a limited range of motion, Tai Chi can help you reach your fitness goals, and reap other benefits as well. It’s a traditional Chinese wellness practice comprised of a series of movements that you perform slowly and purposefully. It’s been popular for centuries for a reason: It has a host of benefits, including helping you maintain a healthy weight and blood pressure, improve heart health and immune function, and lower your risk for falls. en-us 2024-06-27 00:34:17 UTC 2026-09-05 16:47:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/2552308498/2c055c6db3baecc91113a05f79012b75/Yin_and_Yang005.jpg Yang Style Tai Chi 24 Form Word Doc stevesperry85 https://padlet.com/stevesperry85/kppnptm6elnvcr80/wish/3039115054 2024-06-27 01:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/stevesperry85/kppnptm6elnvcr80/wish/3039115054 stevesperry85 https://padlet.com/stevesperry85/kppnptm6elnvcr80/wish/3039762369 While there are many different styles of Tai Chi, each is based on a standard set of principles, including:

  • Keep your center of gravity low

  • Focus on fluid, full-body movements

  • Move with your qi in mind

  • Be mindful
