It also promotes relaxation by helping you let to go of stress and tension. Tai Chi is non competitive, every one learns at their own pace. The slow flowing movements of Tai Chi are a great counterbalance to the ever increasing pace of life today. Practised alongside Tai Chi is Qigong which simply means energy exercises.
