Tai Chi and Qigong have long been recognised for their benefits to health and relaxation. This book explores some of the theory behind the practice of both Tai Chi Ch'uan and Qigong to provide students with a better understanding of why they are taught to do things in particular ways within classes. The theory is presented in the context of the Lee Family Internal Arts as taught within Hand of the Wind Tai Chi and Qigong classes but would be useful for students of any style of Tai Chi or Qigong. Covering the basics of Chinese Medicine including the Twelve Channels and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, this volume uses the theory of the Five Transformations to make these topics accessible and relevant. Practical training advice and techniques are provided to help students gain maximum benefits from their practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. Written by Conrad Robinson of Hand of the Wind Taijiquan who has over 20 years of experience teaching Tai Chi and Qigong for Health to students of all ages.
