T'ai Chi Chuan

T'ai Chi is an ancient system of Chinese exercise for the development on internal strength, balance, health, relaxation and self defense.  The T'ai Chi form is a series of soft, quiet, relaxed movements  that strengthen the mind and body.  Practicing the form will limber and open the body to allow it to function more effectively.  T'ai chi is meditative and will help to cultivate a relaxed and alert mind. 

This particular style of T'ai Chi is the Yang style as taught by the late Professor Cheng Man-Ch'ing.  This style consists of a series of 37 postures which when performed slowly and continuously takes about 12 minutes to complete.
