The International Sin Tien Wu Chi Qi Gong & Original Yang Tai Chi Association
The International Sin Tien Wu Chi Qi Gong & Original Yang Tai Chi Association (ISOYA) is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the teachings of Grandmaster David Chin. Its mission is to reach out and educate the public on both the value and health benefits of Original Yang (aka Guang Ping) Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
Tai Chi is renowned for its health benefits as a low-impact, weight-bearing form of exercise. The Mayo Clinic states that “tai chi uses gentle flowing movements to reduce the stress of today's busy lifestyles and improve health.”
Health Benefits of Tai Chi
Tai Chi health benefits include improved overall physical condition, as well as increased muscle strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility. Tai Chi’s health benefits are a central reason why it continues to grow in popularity, especially with senior practitioners.
Ongoing studies by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are still revealing new health benefits of Tai Chi, and how it helps for a variety of diseases and conditions through its slow, low-impact exercise. 2
