What Is Tai Chi?
Ancient Mind-Body Practice for Modern Healing
Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese discipline blending flowing movements, breath control, and mindfulness. Originally developed as a martial art, it is now widely recognized as a therapeutic exercise that supports physical vitality and emotional well-being. Tai Chi gently engages the body and calms the nervous system, enhancing present-moment awareness—making it an ideal complement to substance use and mental health treatment.
How Tai Chi Supports Recovery
Tai Chi transcends conventional exercise; it’s a moving meditation that cultivates inner balance, reduces stress, and boosts self-awareness. At Joyful Minds, we incorporate Tai Chi as a grounding practice to help clients restore body awareness while alleviating anxiety, cravings, and emotional overwhelm.
