Tai Chi, also known as Tai Chi Ch’uan, Taiji, or Taijiquan, is a slow and graceful exercise that enhances mental focus, promotes calmness, and improves body alignment. It helps build leg strength, endurance, and stability while increasing stamina, flexibility, and coordination (refer to Research). Tai Chi encourages efficient movement and minimizes effort. As a form of Qi Gong, it cultivates energy for a healthy body, mind, and spirit, influencing all aspects of life, including interactions with others. https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/tai-chi-what-you-need-to-know
