Taiji, commonly known as Tai Chi, is a traditional Chinese martial art that emphasizes slow, graceful movements and deep breathing. It is often practiced for its health benefits, including improved balance, flexibility, and mental clarity. The practice is rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, particularly the concepts of yin and yang, which represent the balance of opposing forces. Typically performed in a series of postures, Tai Chi can be practiced by people of all ages and fitness levels. It is often described as "meditation in motion," as it promotes relaxation and mindfulness while enhancing physical strength and coordination.
