"This exercise is ideally done for 20-30 minutes every day or regularly several times a week to achieve optimal results," he said in a press release received by Tempo on April 13, 2026.

Tai Chi not only supports physical health, but also strengthens mental and emotional well-being. In addition, its simple and inclusive nature allows people of all ages to participate, making it an appropriate symbol for creating harmony, tranquility, and positive energy during this celebration.
In welcoming World Healing Day celebrated every April 27, Holywings Care organized a Tai Chi exercise event in Ambyar and Tembak Langit Surabaya on Sunday, April 12, 2026. More than 150 participants from the residents of Embong Kaliasin Surabaya enthusiastically followed the Tai Chi movements guided by professional instructors. With soothing music, the atmosphere in Ambyar Surabaya felt spirited and relaxed, in line with the spirit of healing that emphasizes the balance between body and mind.
World Healing Day, celebrated every April 27, becomes a global momentum to increase public awareness of the importance of maintaining mental health, relaxation, and emotional balance amidst daily activities. In recent years, public awareness of the importance of healing has been increasing, especially amid the demands of work and fast-paced lifestyles.
Several health studies have shown that activities such as Tai Chi, yoga, and meditation can help reduce stress levels, improve sleep quality, and maintain body and mind balance. Therefore, Tai Chi exercises were chosen as the main activity due to its gentle and rhythmic movements, suitable for various age groups, including the elderly.
Andrew Susanto, Chairman of the Holywings Group and Chairman of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program of Holywings Care, stated that this activity aims not only to raise awareness of the importance of health, but also as a form of real concern for the needs of the community.
"Through the World Healing Day momentum, we want to present activities that not only promote health, but also provide direct benefits to the community," said Andrew Susanto.
One of the participants, Royani (42), expressed her enthusiasm after participating in the event. "I am very happy to be able to join Tai Chi exercises today. In addition to feeling more refreshed and relaxed, this activity also provides benefits to the community through the assistance provided. I hope activities like this can continue to be carried out," she said.
