Description
Few forms of exercise are better suited for equestrians than Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese art that unifies the body, mind and spirit in a series of flowing movements that align the posture, breath and inner-and outer-most being. Combining this practice with horsemanship offers a rider the opportunity to become one with her horse, to better her skills by centering her body, gaining control of her breathing and calming her mind.
From the Yin and Yang perspective and opening the Eight Gates, to enhancing movement and power on the ground and refining skills in the saddle, author James Shaw teaches the techniques necessary to achieve a true connection with the horse. With step-by-step color photographs to guide readers through introductory exercises and a basic discussion of Eastern philosophy, this book provides a great foundation for a new way of riding. Author James Shaw has trained in the martial arts for more than 20 years. By combining the mechanics of human and equine movement with the bio-mechanics of martial arts, he was able to create his unique Tai Chi for Equestrians program. | |
