TAI CHI
Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is a traditional Chinese martial art that combines slow, graceful movements with controlled breathing and mental focus. Rooted in Taoist philosophy, it promotes balance and harmony between body and mind. Practiced worldwide, Tai Chi is suitable for people of all ages and is valued for its health benefits, relaxation, and meditative qualities.
