Official synopsis Publisher
La practica del tai chi, un antiguo arte marcial chino caracterizado por sus lentos y elegantes movimientos, se esta haciendo cada vez mas popular, debido a la tranquila atmosfera y la sensacion de quietud que emanan de el, en contraste con las freneticas prisas que conlleva la vida cotidiana. El tai chi constituye una forma flexible y suave de autodefensa que fomenta el equilibrio, la flexibilidad, la armonia y la paz mental. Difiere del concepto occidental de ejercicio en que el cuerpo trabaja relajado y sin ejercer ningun tipo de fuerza. En esta completa guia, de enfoque sencillo y con ilustraciones paso a paso, adecuada tanto para principiantes como para estudiantes avanzados, se exploran las raices historicas y filosoficas de esta disciplina, y se resumen los beneficios fisicos, mentales y espirituales que conlleva. El autor incluye asimismo orientaciones para encontrar al maestro mas adecuado de tai chi y para progresar en su practica, asi como ejercicios y tecnicas muy sencillos para realizar en casa.
