Low Impact. Tai chi is a slow, flowing form of exercise thats sometimes described as meditation in motion. The practice involves a series of choreographed moves with evocative descriptions, such as grasp the sparrows tail or wave hands like clouds. As your body moves, your mind has to focus. But tai chi also encourages relaxation, which helps ease stress.
