It even promotes weight loss and better sleep.

Tai chi is similar to yoga, but the only difference involved is its origin and, of course, its techniques.

Yoga originated in North India, whereas Tai chi is a part of Chinese tradition.

One study followed young adults with anxiety after they were prescribed two tai chi classes each week for ten weeks. "Based on participant reporting, the individuals who practised tai chi experienced significant improvements in their sleep quality compared to those in the control group. In addition, this same group also experienced a decrease in their anxiety symptoms."

Tai chi can improve sleep for older adults, too. In a study published in 2016, researchers found that two months of twice-weekly tai chi classes was associated with better sleep in older adults with cognitive impairment.
