As stated by the Arthritis Foundation, “Tai chi’s slow, graceful movements, which originated thousands of years ago as a martial art, can improve balance, reduce stress and offer arthritis pain relief. The study of tai chi primarily involves three aspects: health, which concentrates on relieving the physical effects of stress on the body and mind; meditation, which fosters focus and calmness; and martial art, which promotes self-defense.” This version of Tai Chi is similar to the Tai Chi for Arthritis and is performed from a seated position.
