What is Tai Chi Walking?
Tai chi walking has been popping up on social media recently with proponents claiming it can provide all sorts of physical and mental health benefits. And if you’re looking to add some mindfulness or balance practice to your usual walking routine, tai chi walking may be just what you’re after.
Tai chi was originally developed as a type of martial art in China hundreds of years ago, say Yun Kim and Jacques MoraMarco, both acupuncturists, doctors of traditional East Asian medicine and co-authors of the recently released book “Walking Your Way to Vitality: Integrating Walking, Breathwork and Mindfulness Into Your Daily Exercise.”
Today, you probably know it more for the slow, hypnotic movements and its potential for preventing falls in older adults.
