Benefits
Tai Chi Chuan promotes internal harmony, proper breathing and a healthier body. The internal forms are done slowly, flowingly and more relaxed. In Tai Chi Chuan, the focus is on increasing circulation, strengthening the bones, and loosening the joints, which can help in protecting against osteoporosis and arthritis.
Daily practice of Tai Chi Chuan in adjunct with proper diet helps prevent or reduce such stress-related diseases as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Yang family Tai Chi Chuan incorporates effective self-defense applications throughout the forms practiced. Though the training is low-impact and relaxed, consistent practice yields unexpected strength, better balance and greater coordination.
