Description
For nearly 5,000 years, people have practiced T'ai Chi to achieve a balance of body, mind, and spirit. This ancient practice has been shown to prolong life, build strength and stamina, improve concentration, and reduce stress. T'ai Chi For Dummies is a friendly guide to help you understand the basics of T'ai Chi and get started with a fitness program that will increase your balance and flexibility, combat fatigue, and tone your muscles. With the help of crystal-clear illustrations and step-by-step instructions, you'll learn the basic movements and forms, as well as techniques to help speed recovery from specific injuries and improve your focus and concentration. This book will show you how to make T'ai Chi and its sister discipline Qigong part of your everyday life, helping you to breathe "mindfully" and meditate, and discover a sense of inner peace and well-being.
