Taichi is often considered to be a quintessential symbol of China. Practised both for training and health benefits, it is still widely undertaken by many Chinese people today. (CNTV)

"I’ve been practising Taichi for 5 years, it has really loosened my muscles. I think the body and the mind are connected, so I’ve also gained peace of mind. I think Taichi is for everybody who feels stressed in our modern society," Taichi enthusiast Li Hua said.

Taichi is not just for the elderly, at this Taichi class here, young people like me are also exploring the peace it offers.

The Dao Shengtang Taichi centre teaches intermediate learners. For them it’s never a walk in the park.
