Tai chi is a mind-body practice often used to enhance mental and physical health. Although it was initially developed as a martial art, it's commonly practiced as a form of moving meditation. Many practitioners of tai chi use this technique to reduce stress, as well as to improve posture, balance, flexibility, and strength. In addition, tai chi is said to boost mood, alleviate pain, strengthen the immune system, and improve heart health.
Tai chi is frequently taught in groups in health centers, community centers, offices, and schools. You can also learn tai chi techniques from books, as well as from audio and video resources. However, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health cautions that learning tai chi from a video or book does not ensure that you're doing the movements correctly or safely.
