It is very different from most things we do daily so it is refreshing. It enhances the individual or team’s productivity as well as each member’s personal growth by learning to manage stress. In the workplace it can be a 5 minute routine, then expand to 15 and 30 minutes each one builds upon the last and all include warm up and cool down exercises.

Tai Chi at work trains you to be aware of your posture and body alignment, which can mean less backache, pain and stiffness. Our posture determines everything not only physically but the alignment of the company, your team, how you move in the market place which in turn creates credibility. To encourage staff to slow down, focus on their breathing think about their posture and be mindful of the situation. This can have the practical advantage of making staff more efficient at problem solving, happier and even more creative.

The activities can reduce Stress by encouraging relaxation and breathing techniques.
