"Computer tech people, they love tai
chi. It's a good destresser for them: sitting hours behind a keyboard,
hunched over doing programming," Dunn said. "A lot of these people are
more introverted. They like that gentle nature of tai chi that doesn't
have sparring and hitting bags."
....At the end of the tai chi class on Long Beach's Signal Hill, York says he brings his practice with him everywhere he goes.
"If
I'm feeling agitated, it's a good lesson for me to remember to slow
down and tune in with my breath. I do tai chi to get back into myself
and to my center, because throughout the week, the world will pull us in
different directions," York said. "I think tai chi is great for younger
people because it forces you to disconnect from the world around you."
Hoover agrees. "We all need a practice, whether it's tai chi or
something else, that allows us to slow down."
