Use the amazing powers of Tai Chi to relax the mind and get a full body workout!

The Masters of Tai Chi believed that development of the body without the mind was dangerous and that cultivating the mind while ignoring the body was useless. Tai Chi strives to meld the mind and body into one, so that the mind and body are in harmony, establishing perfect unity between thought, action and health.

AM - Tai Chi for the Mind : This workout is gentler, utilizing stretching, deep breathing, slow flowing movements and mental visualizations to strengthen and relax the mind and body. The moves are designed to affect the subtler levels of your energy. You will actually feel more energized after the workout than before, preparing you for the day.

PM - Tai Chi for the Body: This workout is more intense and physical than the AM workout. The stances are lower, promoting more muscular development. The moves are designed to greatly enhance chi flow thereby energetically cleansing the body of the tension and stress accumulated throughout the day.
