Tai Chi is an increasingly popular way to enhance physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Its gentle, flowing movements combine with the principle that balancing mind, body and spirit help to promote harmony, both within and without.The Tai Chi Handbook looks at the core principles of Tai Chi, and explains the origins and development of different styles and how the various forms compare. It then works through a series of warm-up exercises, followed by a number of styles and forms. Final chapters look at Tai Chi applications, and how to progress with your chosen style.

A great book for beginners or a reference for the experienced. You will find history, philosophy, best practice and very practical instruction to begin and advance in tai chi. If millions truly cannot be wrong we all need to read this one.
