Workplace employee's physical
activity and Stress Relief Classes:
Tai
Chi (Beginner, Intermediate and advanced)
Going through the Tai Chi form
exercises every joint in the entire body. It lowers blood pressure,
improves balance, muscle tone, co-ordination and burns calories
at the same time According to the principles of tai chi, when
your body is stressed; your energy - or "chi" - is blocked.
And that blockage can show up as tight, clenched muscles, mental
anxiety and stiff joints. The movements and breathing of tai chi
will help unblock your energy and encourage it to flow freely
throughout your body thus significantly reducing stress and tension.
Improving the flow of Chi is fundamental in traditional Chinese
medicine.
