Jeffrey Vik Jeffrey Vik found T'ai Chi in 1980 when he randomly picked up a library book in Mountain Home. He was intrigued as he thumbed through its pages, later trying some of the moves on his own.

He describes T'ai Chi as a "moving meditation," in which a pattern of movements facilitate the proper flow of energy through the body.

There are many forms of T'ai Chi, but Vik practices one of the oldest traditional forms, called Classical Yang, which incorporates 108 distinct movements into what almost looks like a dance. Practitioners slowly shift their weight from one foot to the other as they turn from side to side, their arms acting out a series of motions in unison. The movements require steady concentration, offering a form of meditation.
