Dear Reader,

Introduction to Tai Chi is one of the most exciting online courses ever developed by Harvard health experts. But just what is tai chi? Tai chi is a form of mind-body exercise that is
based on slow, flowing, and choreographed movements.

The benefits of tai chi can help you function better in your everyday life. For example, it can help improve your balance and muscle tone while fostering a calm, focused clarity of thought.

Classic texts say that tai chi will help you become “Strong as an oak, flexible as a willow, and [mentally] clear as still water.”

It’s often called meditation in motion. Scientific studies are showing more and more health benefits that you can get from this practice. In fact, the health benefits are so numerous, some people call tai chi: medication in motion.
