Book Reviews of Tai Chi Mind and Body
Book Review: A Beautiful Book with Clear Instructional Format
Summary: 5 Stars
I have browsed through a number of T'ai Chi instructional books, but none compare to the quality of this one. Every movement of the T'ai Chi form is clearly demonstrated with numerous, full-body photographs and detailed written instructions. Correlations are also given between the form's movements and a section of "basic moves" which help train the basic movement patterns of T'ai Chi. I love that the "basic moves" section even includes written descriptions and pictures of common mistakes! In the book, the author also covers some basic warm-up techniques and other essential aspects of T'ai Chi such as breathing. It's amazing how much she packed in to 160 beautiful and inspirational pages.Another thing I appreciate about the book is that it is a wonderful complement to Tricia Yu's T'ai Chi Fundamentals video that I already owned. Now I can use the video for practice or to experience the flow of the movements, but I can also reference the book for more "static" detail. Oh yeah - the video is beautiful and inspirational as well.
Summary of Tai Chi Mind and Body
More and more people want to reap the benefits of tai chi, but many beginners find the traditional movements confusing and difficult to master. Highlighting the techniques developed by the author, Tai Chi Mind and Body focuses on an easy to learn method that maintains the integrity of traditional tai chi, yet eliminates or modifies areas of difficulty consistently encountered by students. Featuring step-by-step exercises with arrows to indicate movement and a unique superimposed floor grid showing the correct foot positions for every move, this book provides a fresh approach to achieving better health.General Books
