What is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi – The Art of Moving Meditation
Tai Chi is been practiced for centuries as a means of keeping fit and preventing and curing diseases. Its prime purpose is to promote health in a slow relaxed manner, without jarring and hurting one’s body.
The movements are slow, with great emphasis on posture and balance. The exercises require concentration, with the mind freed from distractions. Breathing is natural and in rhythmic harmony with body movements. Master Kravetz practices and teaches a Tai Chi form known as the Wu Style. The study of Wu style Tai Chi is a study of body, mind and spirit.
