Focus: Tai Chi Ball for Building Immunity
YMAA Boston Special Classes
March-June 2020 | Tuesdays & Thursdays | 7:00-8:30PM EDT
- Calm your mind & relax your body with Tai Chi as a moving meditation
- Strengthen your torso, condition your muscles, and increase physical power
- Improve your energy, balance, flexibility and breathing
Tai Chi is a sequence of postures connected by flowing movement, practiced with focused breathing and a calm mind—a type of moving meditation. Practicing Tai Chi can reduce stress, increase energy, balance, and flexibility, and ease symptoms of many health problems such as high blood pressure, asthma, back pain, and arthritis.
Tai Chi Ball is a Qigong training and a very important part of Tai Chi practice as it builds the roundness and softness of the body structure. This training can also strengthen the torso, condition the muscles, and increase physical power.
