LEARN BY DOING
YANG SHORT FORM: A beginners Guide to Taiji Chuan is a comprehensive training guide for all students who are serious about becoming masters of Taiji. It is unique in that it details each of the forty four postures that make up the complete Yang Style Short Form, and it does so in a way that the student can experience the smallest nuance of each movement, from the opening sequence through to the closing posture.
This practical, user-friendly book features 200 pages of photographs, with descriptions, matched with the pace of the breath, enabling the student to focus on the detail of each movement and experience the balance and the flow of Qi.
In this book you will learn:
- How to perform each move in the Yang Style Short Form
- How to breathe correctly as you execute each move
- How the Tan Tien drives all movement, opening the Qi lines so that the universal life force can flow through you more easily
- How to position your body in a manner that balances and strengthens you.
