Benefits of Yang Tai Chi
“After many years of practice, research, and experience, I often like saying that Tai Chi Chuan is just like classical music. It is very deep, profound, and endless in knowledge, feeling, and creativity,” said Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, author of many DVDs in tai chi and qigong. He was recently voted the "Best Author on Tai Chi Chuan" in the 2012 IMOS Journal Reader's Choice Awards.

He continued by saying that the internal arts discipline the mind and body. These arts also train sensitivity to qi (energy) and the ability to control and generate qi. “The feeling of internal arts is a very unique and rewarding. The only way to experience it is through diligent practice. It keeps evolving into something much more the deeper you get. I enjoy the depth of this feeling very much,” Dr. Yang said.

Yang Tai Chi is the most popular tai chi style in the world, and it is practiced by millions of people daily. This low-impact form will help relax the mind and body, improve strength, flexibility, defuse stress, and help promote the healing of many chronic conditions including fibromyalgia and arthritis.
