What is Tai Chi?

About Tai Chi

  "Originating in ancient China, Tai Chi is an eminent form of martial art.  Nowdays, over 300 million people throughout the world practice it as an effective exercise for healthy mind and body.  Although an art with great depth of knowledge and skill, the basics are easy to learn and it soon delivers its health benefits.   For many it continues as a lifetime journey."
  "Tai Chi is gentle, focusing on fluid, circular movements that are relaxed and slow in tempo.  Breathing is deep and slow, aiding concentration, relaxing the body, and allowing the life force, or Qi, to flow unimpeded throughout the body.  Total harmony of the inner and outer self comes from the integration of mind and body through the ongoing practice of Tai Chi."
  "Anyone can learn Tai Chi.  It is inexpensive and can be practiced most anywhere.  The movements are slow and gentle and the degree of exertion can be easily adjusted, making it suitable for people of all levels of ability."  Tai Chi for Arthritis Handbook, Dr. Paul Lam, Jan 2001

  On  Sat., May 12th, Amy will be leading an introductory Tai Chi class on the beach at Sullivan's Island!  Amy is a certified Tai Chi instructor through Dr. Paul Lam.  Registration is required.  $15 per person!  If you have questions, please call Amy at 843-881-8718.
