Tai chi is a low-impact and aerobic exercise that is relaxing and can improve mental and emotional health along with physical health. This Chinese form of exercise improves balance, strength, and calmness, and may decrease pain and stiffness. The term taiji is a Chinese cosmological concept that refers to the flux of yin and yang, and 'quan' means fist. So, etymologically, Taijiquan is a fist system based on the dynamic relationship between polarities (Yin and Yang). It is a favorite among those with arthritis, cancer, and other debilitating conditions. Tai chi is also good for older adults because it does not involve impact on the joints.
