Tai Chi

This deceptively slow practice, descended from ancient martial art forms, is sometimes described as meditation in motion. Its gentle, circular movements, symbolic of nature, improve the flow of your vital force – your chi.  Technique is more important than strength. To get the movements right, concentrate on what they represent, and on relaxing the parts of the body involved.
