Tai chi: Meditation in motion?

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese exercise that uses slow, gentle, dance-like movements to encourage relaxation, improve balance, and strengthen muscles and joints. You don't need special clothing or equipment to do tai chi. Look for tai chi classes at your local community education center, senior center or health club.
