For most, the teen-age years are a time of wanting to be noticed and accepted. That can cause anxiety, confusion, depression, and low self-esteem. Mood swings are very common with all the hormonal changes going on during the teen years. Tai Chi's regular practice is designed to help us realize that we are in charge of how we choose to react to what is going on around us. The truths found in the symbolism of the movements help us see that the way we choose to see the world is how it will unfold for us.
