What is - Tai Chi - YEMNASTEKE  YA  ZOIE ?

Tai Chi - YEMNASTEKE  YA  ZOIE - Tai Chi (Pronounced Tie Chee). Yemnasteke Ya Zoie (Exercise For Life). This is a uniquely simple movement exercise and relaxation program that is excellent for all ages and physical abilities. It is recognizable as a "Slow Motion Moving Meditation" "A Philosophy In Movement." It is based on a combination of ancient Chinese arts used thousands of years ago and intertwined with philosophy.  It is a gentle workout designed to increase your mental and physical energy through a series of simple, stress reducing exercises.  These exercises are so easy, just about anyone can do them. You need no special equipment.  It helps with relaxation, is excellent for overall circulation, and encourages a focus on healthful living.

Tai Chi can help one achieve total harmony of mind, body, and spirit.  You can exercise everyday or whenever you like because it can be performed anywhere, anytime. Practiced in the morning it prepares the mind and body for the day ahead.  When practiced later in the day it relieves tension, stress, and re-energies.

Tai Chi increases balance, flexibility, strength, physical power, endurance, and vitality in a way that does not strain muscles, over-activate the heart, or cause over-exertion or stress.  It may help to maintain youth, vitality and slow the aging process through rejuvenation.  It is the most mental of physical activities and therefore can improve memory, learning ability and creativity.  It promotes contentment and intellectual calm, while it sharpens and clears the mind.
