t'ai chi

An ancient Chinese exercise that draws on both attacking and defensive moves. It may be classified as a martial art, but this is a variation that doesn't involve hitting anyone! In practice, T'ai Chi involves using your body to make 'forms' - a series of slow, balanced, sweeping positions that make up one continuous movement. A single move can take up to twenty minutes to complete,  leaving you feeling refreshed and ready for anything.

T'ai Chi is great for stress release, concentration, coordination and increased strength and muscle tone.
