Who can do Tai Chi?

            Any one! Tai Chi is recomended to do in the mornings as it will energize and balance your body, even if is just for 15 minutes.
This is research! "A growing body of carefully conducted investigations in Harvard are building a compelling case for tai chi as an adjunct to standard medical treatment for the prevention and rehabilitation of many conditions commonly associated with age. An adjunct therapy is one that's used together with primary medical treatments, either to address a disease itself or its primary symptoms, or, more generally, to improve a patient's functioning and quality of life."
