Présentation de l'éditeur

This book covers all aspects of t'ai chi, from its beginnings and its philosophical background, right through to its practical uses. There are many different variations of t'ai chi. Here, Andrew Popovic focuses on the Wu style, giving instructions on how to perform the short form in clear, step-by-step photographs, with easy-to-follow guidance. The book explains the Taoist philosophy behind t'ao chi, and how to use your understanding of energy flow and physical balance to improve your practice. It also takes t'ai chi theory into other aspects of your life, with valuable information on Chinese medicine, healthy eating, and meditation.
