Tai chi

Morning tai chi in a neighborhood park, Singapore, December 2022 Three practitioners stretch their arms wide in the low early light, eyes fixed on a point ahead. This is tai chi at its most local: not a landmark or a show, just a regular group meeting at a park near home before the tropical heat builds. The open-arm posture opens the chest and shoulders while the legs hold a steady, slightly bent stance, a combination that gives strength and balance work without strain.
