Tai Chi. It is balletic and graceful, it is poetic, and it requires total concentration. It's not difficult but it is challenging and requires patinece and practice. The names of the moves are wonderful: stroke the mane of the wild horse, old woman wears the necklace, golden rooster stands on one leg.
It is lovely to move in a slow and graceful way. No matter what your shape or size or age, doing Tai Chi demands that you use your whole brain which means that you cannot think of other things at the same time which in itself makes it refreshing and relaxing. It seems to be about gentleness and strength together.
A patient teacher and a friendly non-judgemental group of people make it one of the high points in my week.
At last I have found my perfect exercise! (There are not too many posts under Simply Move!)
