Anyone here practice the principles of Tai Chi?

My balance problem has mostly gone away maybe due to taking magnesium supplements.

I have read that meditation, yoga and tai chi might help manage my dehydration problems.  

Also herbal tea of marshmallow  or slippery elm.

Yoga is not my cup of tea though tai chi seems perfect ...

Never having heard of tai chi, I found these videos helpful:

I do and highly recommend it to anyone of any age, along with Qi Gong.

I've especially noticed the benefits when working in the garden. Being able to balance on one foot while stepping between plants is especially useful when weeding or anytime I'm working low to the ground, like picking strawberries and green beans.

I've taken Tai Chi classes instructed by David Chandler and enjoy them immensely. If there are no instructers in your area, he offers Zoom classes on Saturday mornings. Here's a link for anyone interested:   Eagle's Quest Tai Chi Center
