Why Choose Tai Chi at Casa Leona?

What Is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi is a centuries-old Chinese martial art characterized by slow, flowing movements combined with controlled breathing and focused awareness. Often called “meditation in motion,” Tai Chi harmonizes the nervous system, reduces stress hormones, and promotes clarity—making it an ideal therapeutic tool for individuals recovering from addiction and mental health challenges.

Benefits of Tai Chi Practice:

  • Reduces anxiety, depression, and emotional tension

  • Enhances strength, coordination, and flexibility

  • Promotes mindfulness and body awareness

  • Regulates mood and improves emotional stability

  • Encourages deeper sleep and mental clarity

Tai Chi invites clients to slow down, tune in, and gently rebuild both inner and outer strength—supporting long-term recovery and well-being.
