Why Tai Chi is Perfect for Winter
Winter is a season of stillness and reflection, mirroring the core principles of tai chi and qigong. As temperatures drop, these practices help keep the body warm by promoting gentle movement that circulates blood and energy throughout the body. They enhance immunity, improve circulation, and keep joints flexible, countering the natural tendency for stiffness and sluggishness during colder months.
