Applied Tai Chi - Taking the principles of tai chi into your summer activities

Body Balance students are discovering that the principles of Tai Chi operate just as well outside the studio.

For example: You can weed-whack, shovel or rake while moving from your center.

When you discover another way to apply what you've learned in Tai Chi to your summer activities, take a picture of yourself in motion and we'll post it on the blog.

Happy summer!
