Our Ya-Taichi 12 StepsTM program is based on extensive research conducted by Harvard Medical School, which has shown significant benefits for those who regularly practice TaiChi compared to basic exercise and stretches alone. Notably, regular TaiChi practitioners show higher quality of life scores, increased mobility and strength, and a reduction in chronic pain.
