“This is an open event to all the public to come experience and share the benefits of tai chi,” said Craig Boden from the Tai Chi Chuan Institute, Alberton.
Whether you are young or old, you can feel the benefits.
“The goals of promoting tai chi and qigong is to demonstrate the health benefits they give when you practise these forms of martial arts,” added Boden.
Boden explained: “The benefits of regular practice of tai chi is that it improves our senses, regulates the sugar levels, lowers blood pressure, calms the nervous system, improves circulation, strengthens the immune system and slows the effects of aging.
“One large benefit other than for health purposes is you don’t need expensive equipment or clothing. It can be practised anywhere as you don’t need a large space. It can be practised indoors or outdoors.”
