The rush of the modern world tends not to allow the human being to dwell on the
necessary social interactions, prioritizing tasks considered urgent or more important
as work or academic tasks. Becoming aware of the body is becoming increasingly
necessary as a way of being in the sensitive world intelligently, starting from a
dialogue between learning with one's own body and with the body of others. Being
Tai Chi Chuan, an integrative practice that proposes a unitary and global vision that
integrates body, mind, man and nature, the objective of this paper is to identify and
analyze the impact of Tai Chi Chuan on the quality of life of UFPA servers that
practiced the modality, offered by the Coordination of Quality of Life and Social
Responsibility. From a qualitative research were conducted semi-structured
interviews with 6 participants of the Tai Chi Chuan Action (CQVRS / UFPA) in 2018.
The method of analysis was the indicative paradigm. The results point to Tai Chi
Chuan as a beneficial practice in the physical, social and, mainly, the psychological
and emotional aspects. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the expansion of
knowledge in the area by practitioners, institutional managers, teachers, technicians
and the general public, encouraging greater self-care and improvements in
conditions and life in general.
