The Mind Body Connection

As you do this, your body releases tension, which can, in turn, help lower blood pressure and improve heart function. Many of our students take Tai Chi classes simply because they need a way to release the stress of daily life.

There's no reason to doubt that the mind-body connection affects everything in our bodies. Practicing Tai Chi regularly can help reconnect the mind and the body. Unfortunately, so much of modern life forces people to separate those essential elements. It's almost like their minds and their bodies lead separate lives, unaware of each other. Tai Chi reintroduces them so people can feel whole and connected to themselves.
