The practice of Yang style Tai Chi is always done slowly and with maximum extension, which leads to good Chi development. The Tai Chi forms of the Yang style emphasize these concepts to give the best possible health benefits to the practicioner. The wide variety of postures in Tai Chi give an overall body workout, gently toning and conditioning. Tai Chi is very low impact, however, and most practicioners will notice little to no soreness or discomfort from Tai Chi practice.

Students of Eastern Ways® also practice Chi Kung, which translates to "Energy Work" or "Breath Work". Chi Kung works to increase the internal energy, or Chi. These exercises also help to strengthen the internal health of the body and promote relaxation. While Chi Kung exercises can be done on their own, when combined with Tai Chi forms and Push Hands practice, they become an effective regime for relaxation, stress relief and increased consciousness.
