Tai Chi Easy is a simple form of mind-body, self-care designed to strengthen the body’s own healing forces. It requires no equipment or special clothing and can be done nearly anywhere. Tai Chi Easy has four components:

1. Mindful Movements- gentle exercises that move, relax and stretch the body and increase balance and coordination.
2. Breathing Practices- triggers the de-stressing effects of the Relaxation Response, increases ciruclation and energy, and enhances the body's natural healing process.
3. Self-Applied Massage- stimulates energy and circulation flow throughout the whole body.
4. Meditation- relaxes the body, centers the mind, and calms the emotions.
