Participants engaged in mastering the slow mindful movements of Tai Chi remain present . . .
In the moment . . .
The only place happiness resides . . .
In addition:
Tai Chi helps participants increase flexibility and balance while improving concentration.
It’s hard to be “lost in thought” while engaged in Tai Chi, giving participants a break from anxiety, worry, angst, and other every day stresses and strains.
As it taps into the mind-body connection, Tai Chi soothes the sympathetic nervous system, lowering dangerous levels of cortisol and adrenaline which are tied to a host of health ailments (e.g., high blood pressure & excess weight).
Tai Chi provides a *pause* that refreshes, resets, and relaxes the monkey mind . . . an oasis of calm in the midst of the frenzied and frenetic pace of life.
As an added benefit, many classes are held outdoors, offering participants the opportunity to nurture themselves amid the sights and sounds of nature.
Nature + Nurture = Perfect Together!
