New York Times column on Tai Chi

From time to time, we'll post links to articles about Tai Chi and Qi Gong.  Thanks to Annette Dunklin for bringing this one to our attention.

In her Personal Health column in the New York Times (September 28, 2010) Jane Brody writes, "The graceful, dancelike progression of meditative poses called tai chi originated in ancient China as a martial art, but the exercise is best known in modern times as a route to reduced stress and enhanced health. After reviewing existing scientific evidence for its potential health benefits, I’ve concluded that the proper question to ask yourself may not be why you should practice tai chi, but why not."

Of course, we at Body Balance encourage you to talk with your health care provider to see whether Tai Chi is recommended.
