Benefits of Tai Chi
Reduces Anxiety & Depression
A review of over 80 medical studies showed that regular practicing of tai chi significantly improves anxiety, mood and depression. A study done by The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry determined that tai chi alone or with other medications and therapy is an effective treatment for depression.
Improves Concentration
As you concentrate on shifting your weight, moving your hands, and arms, and turning your body, your mind is less likely to wander. Thus, you are more likely to be more present in the moment. Cultivating this skill during the practice of tai chi helps you to be more focused throughout your day and helps you to calmly navigate challenges.
