Tai Chi Tai Chi is a gentle exercise pro- gram that is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). De- rived from the martial arts, Tai Chi is composed of slow, de- liberate movements, medita- tion, and deep breathing, which enhance physical health and emotional well-being. Tai Chi improves overall fitness, coordi- nation, and agility. People who practice Tai Chi on a regular ba- sis tend to have good posture, flexibility, and range of motion, are more mentally alert, and sleep more soundly.
